The world is polarized. The middle class becomes smaller. The polarization makes the difference between rich and the poor big. This is true.

Those called to the service of governance in the church need to have a strong sense of justice, so that any form of injustice becomes unacceptable.

If we wish to follow Christ closely, we cannot choose an easy, quiet life. It will be a demanding life, but full of joy.

A fundamental role in the renewal of society is played, of course, by the family and especially by young people.

The first reform must be the attitude. The ministers of the Gospel must be people who can warm the hearts of the people, who walk through the dark night with them, who know how to dialogue and to descend themselves into their people's night, into the darkness, but without getting lost. The people of God want pastors, not clergy acting like bureaucrats or government officials.

Work ends up dehumanizing people.
