To speak of the central Amazon of Peru and chapter 7 of the Fratelli Tutti, is to speak of several latent conflicts in Peru and in this part of the country that is part of the Amazon. We remember the time of terrorism in the 80s and 90s, they were bloody years that left many wounds.

Fr. Pedro Percy Carbonero: “Creating Spaces for Penitential Memory”
Bro. Alberto Parise: “Decolonizing Reconciliation”
Friday, March 4, 2022
The reflection of the Encyclical on the process of social reconciliation brings to the fore the importance of the approach and cultural understanding of such reparative and regenerative praxis. After the genocide in Rwanda in 1994, and in response to the numerous confllicts that plagued the Continent, Africa has become the theatre of endless projects and reconciliation intiatives, guided by Western approaches.

Fr. Raimundo Rocha dos Santos: “Dialogue, Friendship and Social Justice”
Monday, February 28, 2022
Faced with the various current ways of eliminating or ignoring others, Fratelli tutti challenges us to be “able to react with a new dream of fraternity and social friendship” (6) and shows us the ways to do so. It speaks of fraternal love in its universal dimension and of openness to all. It is an invitation to awake a worldwide longing for fraternity (8).
