CATHOLIC SOCIAL TEACHING: PACEM IN TERRIS — PART THREE

International Interdependence and Universal Public AuthorityBy Drew STUART, MA

In parts I and II of this column on John XXIII's encyclical Pacem In Terris, we saw that he applied the Church's social teaching on the rights and duties of human and the relationships between individuals and governments to contemporary issues. Continuing our examination of this encyclical, we shall now take a look at how Pope John applies Catholic social teaching to the phenomenon of globalization and the interdependence of nations.

Pope John points out that, as science and technology progress, opportunities for cooperation between individuals and nations grow as well. As this process of cooperation expands, global economies become interdependent. This means the

social progress, security, and peace of one country can now affect all countries. He says that this phenomenon has created a situation in which a country cannot rightly seek its own interests and development in isolation from other countries. Pope John calls for a universal public authority, in which all nations willingly participate and are represented, that will work toward a concrete universal common good. Once this authority has been recognized by common accord it can begin to work for the objective recognition, respect, protection, and promotion of human rights. However, he emphasizes that the relationship between this universal public authority and individual nations must be governed by subsidiarity, meaning that the public authorities within these

nations can carry out their tasks and duties without excessive interference. Pope John expresses hope that the United Nations may eventually evolve into such a universal public authority as it continues its efforts to maintain and consolidate peace between nations and peoples.

Overall, Pope John XXIII calls for a universal public authority that will help nations live together in peace in a globalized world. While this authority would have real power to guide relations between nations in order to avoid conflict, it would not replace the governments of each individual nation. Pope John hopes that establishing such a universal public authority would prevent nations of seeking their own selfish interests at the expense of other nations and create a more just and peaceful world.

POPE FRANCIS:

It is Sad to See 'Watered Down Christians'

The Holy Father reflected on the Gospel from St.

Matthew where Jesus tells his disciples that He

must go to Jerusalem to suffer, die and rise from

the dead. When Peter rebukes Him, Jesus in turn

reproaches him saying “Get behind me, Satan! You

are an obstacle to me. You are thinking not as God

does, but as human beings do.”

This critical moment, the Holy Father noted, speaks

to the reality of Christians today who run the risk of

becoming worldly, or “watered down.”

“It is sad to find watered down Christians, who are

like watered wine,” he said. “You can't tell whether

they are Christian or worldly.”

“It is sad to find Christians that are no longer the

salt of the Earth. And we know that when salt loses

its flavor, it is no longer useful. Their salt has lost its

flavor because they are committed to the spirit of

this world. That is, they have become worldly.”

The Pope emphasized the need for Christians to be

in a constant state of renewal. In order to achieve

this, he highlighted three gifts, the first being, to

read and meditate on the Gospel.

“Remember, it would help you to carry a Gospel

with you, a small book of Gospels, in your pocket or

in your purse, and read a small passage during the

day. But always the Gospel because it is carrying

the Word of Jesus and being able to read it,” he

reminded the faithful. Receiving the Eucharist,

especially during Sunday Mass, and spending

several days of retreat, he added, “are very

important for spiritual renewal.”

“Gospel, Eucharist, Prayer. Do not forget: Gospel,

Eucharist and Prayer. Thanks to these gifts from

the Lord, we can conform not to the world, but to

Christ, and to follow Him on His path, the path of

“losing one's own life” in order to find it,” he said.

Concluding his address, Pope Francis told the

faithful that through these three gifts, all Christians

can follow the path of Christ, who gave his life, thus

purifying us and freeing us from selfishness. “The

Virgin Mary always precedes us on this path; let us

be guided and accompanied by Her,” he concluded

before reciting the Angelus prayer.
