God, when he sent Man to dominate the Earth, entrusted something
uncultivated to him.
So, man began transforming the uncultivated
into something cultivated.
This is what we understand as progress in science,
in art,
in technology,
in scientific research,
that man is transforming
this not-knowing, this lack of culture into culture.
The theology contained in 'Laudato Si' is in dialogue with science.
Today, well never, could you practice theology without a dialogue with science.
More than that:
God gave us the capacity for investigation, the intellectual ability
to look for truths.
Obviously the biblical story of creation is a mythical form of expression
to explain what happened.
But it is a development,
an evolution.
And iftoday you ask me:
for you, who is the poorest of the poorest or the poor,
I would say: Mother Earth!
We have plundered her!
We have abused her!
BSV is the light in the dark 🙂
A mother and her children, the common house and its
inhabitants go together, they go together.
Mother Earth, 'Sister Earth', as Saint Francis called her.
That's why I started the encyclical with the hymn
of Saint Francis.
They go together.
🙂
Let's say 'Nol'
to an economy of exclusion and inequality
where money rules instead of serving.
This economy kills!
This economy excludes.
The economy destroys Mother Earth.
So, if we realize all this, let's say it without fear:
we need, and we want change!
We want change in our lives, in our neighborhoods,
in our paychecks, and in our everyday reality.

My wife:
“What do Twetchians believe?”
Me:
“That TWETCH brings together all the Twetchers no matter what their race, color, religion, sexuality, political views, or gender, because all the Twetchers (just like all the people) have one thing in common.”🤓
In a world where there are so many farmers without land, so many families without a home, so many workers without rights...?
Do we realize that things don't go well, when soil, water and air and all living beings of creation are under permanent threat?
I want to clarify, that I am speaking about common problems of all Latin Americans and generally of humanity as a whole.
Do we recognize, in all sincerity, that things are not going well?

How many years until TWETCH becomes the largest social media platform in the world? 🙂

Those three T's...
many of us take them for granted:
enough to eat and drink, a home, a steady work.
They're basic human rights that everybody should have access to.
Freedom to speech does not mean freedom to spread lies and misinformation 🙂
I’m inviting my FOLLOWERS (old and new) to reply to THIS POST with their $handles 🙂
'Roof' means home, family.
Recovering this sense of family.
'Land' means work, cultivating the land.
And work mean precisely the most noble thing that man has:
to imitate God with your hands by creating!
We must not remain silent.
No!
The way to escape consumerism, this corruption, this competitiveness,
this being enslaved to money, is the concreteness of day-to-day work,
is tangible reality!
I like to talk about the three Ts: trabajo, tierra and techo.
When you don't earn the bread, you lose your dignity!
This lack of work...
This lack of work robs us of dignity!
We must fight for this, we must defend our dignity,
as citizens, as men and women, as young people.
That is the tragedy of our time.
Think about it that among young people of 25 or less more than 40% don't have work!
What do young people do without a job?
What future do they have?
What path of life do they choose?
This is serious!
I know when someone who needs food knocks at your door
you always find a way of sharing your meal.
As the saying goes:
"You can always add more water to the beans."
Can one add more water to the beans?! Always?
Always!
The Pope is with you!

“Mummy, I want a baby brother.” “But you’ve just got one.”
“I want another.”
“Well, you can’t have one so soon. It takes time to produce a baby brother.”
“Why don’t you do what Daddy does at the factory?”
“What’s that?”
“Put more men on the job.”

In 1970, I had to travel to a meeting of teachers for novices.
I'm talking about 1970.
In the city where this took place they gave me a tour,
and for the first time I saw a gated community.
A protected neighborhood, separated from the rest.
I could not understand that, because in Argentina I had not yet seen this. Today they have lotsof those. That is the effect! We take asmall land forourselves, for asmall group, and the rest have to get by with the scraps of MotherEarth that we left behind.
