We must regain the conviction that we have a shared responsibility for others and the world, and that being good and decent are worth it. We have had enough of immorality and the mockery of ethics, goodness, faith and honesty…. When the foundations of social life are corroded, what ensues are battles over conflicting interests, new forms of violence and brutality, and obstacles to the growth of genuine culture and care of the environment.
Pope Francis. Laudate Si, ’229. www.ncronline.org. June 17, 2017.
