In his #statements about #Russia 's #invasion of #Ukraine , #PopeFrancis continues to remain vague even at #Christmas, so caught is he between his own #doctrine of #NonViolence, made explicit in his #encyclical "Fratelli tutti" which is in conflict with the #Catholic tradition of #just #war #ethics , his discreet #defense of #Ukrainian Catholics (9% of the #population ), and his #strategy of long-term rapprochement with the #Russian #Orthodox #Church .

With FunkWhale I'm trying to share a song:
"Do unto others as you would have them.. do unto you" This is the entire song, the rest is commentary.
The #FratelliTutti #Encyclical of #PopeFrancis made me think of a 1979 song by #BobDylan, #DoUntoOthers, the #GoldenRule??

He thanked the Vatican office promoting the initiative, the Dicastery for Promoting #IntegralHumanDevelopment, and other organizations taking part.

#MurtazaHussain made me think of #AmitavGhosh on how views of #TheGoodLife are #mimetic , #PopeFrancis mentions the need for a change of #MindSet in his #Encyclical writings too.

> Todos que convierten suenos en realidad
Su lucha triumfara
Su alma y su mente ganara
Si senor, los que aprenden el baile
Lograran, reir con la vida
Vida

Cuando das todo loque puedes dar
Su fuerza se aumenta
Y su corazon creecera
Si senor

> #Doomsday predictions can no longer be met with irony or disdain. We may well be leaving to coming generations debris, desolation and filth. The pace of consumption, waste and environmental change has so stretched the planet’s capacity .. The effects of the present imbalance can only be reduced by our decisive action.. We need to reflect on our accountability...

> 地球は私たち人間と人間以外のすべてのものが「共に」生きる場です。それを教皇フランシスコは「家」と呼んでいます。つまり、地球はみんなの大切な場所であって、地球環境について考えることは人ごとではないという考えです。地球上には、私たちがＳＤＧｓを学びながら気づいているように、様々な環境問題があります。気候変動、#プラスティックゴミ 、#森林破壊、#野生動物 の現象や #絶滅 、海や #水の汚染 など、数えたらきりがありません。これらの問題は私たち人間の生活の仕方に大いに関わっています。人間の都合によって自然や地球を利用してきたその結果です。教皇フランシスコはそれらの問題に直面することを呼びかけています。そして、地球は神様から私たちがいただいた大きな恵みであること、人間は全体のことを考えて地球を大切に扱うという大きな役割を任されているのではないかと、私たちに呼びかけています。そして、色々なことは関連している、全体的に考えることが大切という意味で「 #インテグラルエコロジー： #総合的なエコロジー 」を提唱しています。

> .. if you read the document, it’s very clear in calling for a different #EconomicModel, and it’s a challenge to what #PopeFrancis calls our #ThrowawayCulture. So they want to make sure that the parts of the #encyclical that really do represent the deepest challenge to our current economic system and represent the most hope for the people who are excluded from the benefits of that #EconomicSystem are really highlighted.

It is about a broader ecological crisis, and it is also about the crisis of inequality.. they are trying to make the conversation about the failures of our economic system, which is a very live conversation around the world, and the conversation about climate change come together, because they are so often segmented.

Pope Francis Laments Failures Of Market Capitalism In Blueprint For Post-COVID World

... Its title is Fratelli Tutti, and it is a scathing description of laissez-faire capitalism and a meditation on the coronavirus pandemic that has swept across the globe. ...

Picking up on some of his favorite themes, Francis says the marketplace cannot resolve every problem and denounces what he describes as "this dogma of neo-liberal faith that resorts to the magic theories of spillover or trickle." ...

"Every brother or sister in need, when abandoned or ignored by the society in which I live, becomes an existential foreigner, even though born in the same country. They may be citizens with full rights, yet they are treated like foreigners in their own country. Racism is a virus that quickly mutates and, instead of disappearing, goes into hiding, and lurks in waiting."

The encyclical is a sharp critique of nationalism and populism. In one section, he warns against "unhealthy 'populism' when individuals are able to exploit politically a people's culture, under whatever ideological banner, for their own personal advantage or continuing grip on power."
