The Common Christian Agenda for the Common Good (Vatican, May 26, 2018)
This text is the discourse of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, which was delivered at the
annual conference of the Centesimus Annus Pro Pontifice, founded by Pope John Paul II in 1993,
after the title of his encyclical, published in 1991 to mark the centenary of the encyclical
Rerum Novarum (1891). Faith is not limited to the “soul”, not without interest for the social
dimension, but rather plays a crucial role on the social level. Today, we face a real crisis
situation and its social effects can be seen on a global scale. This global crisis is considered
to be a “crisis of solidarity”. How does this solidarity crisis arise? Patriarch Bartholomew
refers to three areas in which this happens: in the field of economy and ecology, in that of
science and technology, as well as in society and politics.
