Santa Sede e Comunità Internazionale: la cura della 'casa comune' nell'era della 'global governance'

Holy See and the International Community. The Care of the ‘Common Home’ in the Age of Global Governance. After the illustration of the ongoing globalization and its effects on the governance of national and supranational institutional systems, the study focuses on the legal role and action of the Holy See within the international community. The analysis highlights the commitment of the Catholic Church to dialogue with other religions and civil society as based on the idea that religious freedom is rooted in human dignity. In the end, the plea of Pope Francis for the ‘care of the common home’ to be pursued in view of an integral ecology oriented towards the common good is deeply considered.
