Indo-Pacific Economic Framework

          From the Sisters of Mercy: 

“Given Pope Francis’ urgent call to care for our Common Home, both in Laudato Si’ and Laudate Deum, NETWORK has drafted a letter (attached) urging President Biden to fix the agreement immediately, out of our shared Catholic values. Please consider signing on your congregation and sharing with your Catholic associates. While the form requests individual contact information, it is the congregations and organizations that will be listed. To sign, please click the link:

2. Laudate Deum: "Laudate Deum": Apostolic Exhortation to all people of good will on the climate crisis (4 October 2023) | Francis (vatican.va)

3. Stewardship on life

It is a waste of resources if the people’s effort is spent on revenge and killing people as a form of justice.  There is no peace in revenge and deliberately taking life.  Why not restorative justice, rehabilitation, circular healing, and other life-giving initiatives like the eco-socio-economic programs?
