Description
Summary:Reconciliation is a powerful concept of great importance for both theology and social life. This essay focuses on two significant notions, both of which are parts of a broader idea called reparation: apology and compensation. Reparation is one of the constituent elements of a process of reconciliation. Due to the fact that apology and compensation do not necessarily appear together in the same process of reconciliation, they are explored and discussed separately to indicate their specific roles in reconciliation. The Catholic Church's public apology in 2000 and 2001 serves as an example of apology without compensation, and the Swiss banks' compensation is an example of compensation without apology.
