On May 13-14th, 2020, prof.
Martín Carbajo Núñez, OFM, will participate in the
5th International Symposium on the family. The general subject of this conference will be:
Family – Politics - Globalization. The Symposium is organized by the
university of Warmia Ymazury, in Olsztyn (Poland).
Prof. Carbajo will present the subject: "Fraternity, familiar relationships and politics in the light of the encyclical
Fratelli tutti." The key to understand these concepts rightly is found in the dignity of the human person and his/her intrinsic sociability. Familiar relationships and good politics are necessary to achieve a "healthy and open" community life in the globalized world. In other words, there can be no universal fraternity without good politics, "built upon respect for law and frank dialogue between individuals" (
FT 196).
This will be the fourth consecutive time that Prof. Carbajo is invited to this annual symposium by the University of Olsztyn.
