Our society consists of people of many different backgrounds and religions, who are trying to live together in peace. It is an important task of Christians to participate in social life, and politics plays a central role in social life. In politics, too, the Gospel and the teaching of the Church should serve as the starting point.
This means, for example, that economic activity should serve the interests of all members of society, whether rich or poor. We are responsible for the proper management of the earth and its natural resources. It is important to respect God’s creation.
