Chiaroscuro – Interdett '61/Divorce '09

“As a movement, the Church enters into this political sphere by offering its vision to society. This is true of the Church as an institution, but it also true for each and every believer that adheres to it: that what he believes in motivates the way that he forms part of society and his contribution to society, otherwise he would be living in contradiction. These beliefs include not only the supernatural, but also the deeply-held convictions of what is good to society in terms of environmental protection, social justice, political ethics and all other social ideals. When the Church and its members enter this kind of dialogue with society, they are motivated by their beliefs. But when communicating their ideas, they do so in a ‘secular way’, comprehensible to all.”
-Archbishop Paul Cremona, Times of Malta (23.08.09)
