“The Republic was born through suffering, regaining freedom and rejecting all forms of fascism, with a hope stronger than fear,” said Cardinal Zuppi. “It was born from the desire to no longer be against each other, but citizens together, different yet united by a common destiny and a sense of the common good.”
Italy’s dioceses “look at this anniversary with gratitude for the journey made and with concern for the present wounds: growing poverty, falling birth rates, mistrust, inequality, verbal violence, indifference and the temptation to close oneself off in an individual destiny,” Cardinal Zuppi continued. “Our communities reject war as a means of resolving conflicts and, inspired by the teaching of Pope Leo, feel the urgent task of educating for peace, safeguarding democracy and building community.”
