Description
Summary:The purpose of this piece of writing, which comes from the pain of the victims of the internal war in Colombia, is to show the discernment of Francis of Fratelli Tutti who calls upon the Church to see the Kingdom of God within the movement towards the universal human community of different religions, beliefs, ethnicities, cultures and Creation. A process of fraternity and communion in dignity, justice and peace, which resists selfishness, exclusion and wars. The Church is called to be part of this new and unique community through the Gospel and in the field of the political ethics of the common good. The choice for the Church is crucial, to be or not to be in the Kingdom of God, at a time when humanity is between life and death.
