Moral duties in a muddied world at Vatican conference
Vatican think tank sessions warn that a religion of the absence of God undermines the West and that globalizing trends threaten sovereign nations. The piece contrasts papal encyclical Pacem in Terris with U S political debates on social justice and religious freedom, urging discernment before election season. It highlights Pierre Manent and Paul Ryan on civil society, budget debt, and the common good, stressing inner conversion and freedom for charity to shape public life. Kathryn Lopez of National Review Online is cited.
