蜜桃交友

By Pope

Protestors 鈥渕ust be listened to; there must be a dialogue, an openness to dialogue with a view to the sustainability of small and medium-sized businesses and a future for rural areas,鈥� said Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin, in response to questions from reporters about the ongoing demonstrations in Italy and throughout Europe against high production costs.

鈥淭he obligation is that the person must always be put at the center of everything,鈥� the Cardinal said, 鈥渟o that they are safeguarded in their dignity and can genuinely express the best proposals.鈥�

Cardinal Parolin spoke to journalists on the sidelines of a conference at the Italian Embassy to the Holy See for the 40th anniversary of the Concordat signed in 1984 by then-Prime Minister Bettino Craxi and Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Agostino Casaroli.

The Agreement, said Cardinal Parolin, 鈥渋s not something of the past but also has a projection into the future鈥�; that is, it concerns an understanding about the possibility of considering 鈥渨hat points can be further developed today,鈥� going beyond what was stipulated forty years ago.

Thursday鈥檚 conference also included the presentation of a Declaration of Intent between Italy and the Holy See on the new headquarters of the Bambino Gesù Hospital. 鈥淥n the Italian side and on the part of the Holy See, requests on this operation will be outlined,鈥� the Cardinal explained.

Cardinal Parolin focused instead on the conflict in the Middle East, where a truce and an agreement for the return of hostages still held by Hamas seem increasingly distant.

鈥淭here are ongoing negotiations,鈥� he explained. 鈥淥f course, it doesn鈥檛 look like hopes are materializing鈥攖hese hopes that are opening up now and then. But we are hopeful that slowly we can come to an agreement and a solution with the release of the hostages, a cease-fire, and then the beginning of negotiations for a definitive resolution of the problem.鈥�
