 South Africa, like many other countries of the so-called developing world is marked by the rapid and intensive urbanization.City life offers many opportunities for learning, earning and entertainment. One meets there modernity, technology, good infrastructure, services and investment. People are flocking to the city because of their hope for employment.Having arrived to a big city one wakes up quickly facing inequality, poverty and suffering. For the poor there is no stable source of income. Families are broken, men are absent and women have to take all the responsibility for the maintenance of the family. |

 1. Every country has the responsibility to protect its citizens. But we believe that the cause can be best served by multilateral negotiations on disarmament with stringent compliance and verification measures. More and more weapons will not make our world more secure. The means of security will in turn become the threat to security itself.2. Pax Christi International firmly believes that development and deployment of such systems will have major detrimental consequences on bilateral and multilateral disarmament initiatives. It will undermine confidence building measures for disarmament, freeze progress in arms reduction, jeopardise future arms control agreements, and fuel arms race leading to the weaponisation of outer space. |

The journey of our human growth and our Christian maturity
 About fifteen months ago, when surfing the net, by chance, Martin came in contact with the “World Social Forum” (WSF). Talking with his friends and relatives, he realised that, they too, were not aware of such gathering, or, worse, confused this gathering with other “forums” especially those related just to economic matters and multinationals. |

 The president of the Bishops’ Conference of Chile, Bishop Alejandro Goic, said during a press conference this week that the Catholic Church in Latin America needs to sincerely examine its conscience in order to determine why Catholics are not on the forefront of social justice reform.
In an interview with the Italian news agency ANSA, Bishop Goic recalled the discourse of Pope Benedict XVI upon inaugurating the V General Conference of the Latin American Bishops, in which he pointed out “the injustices of the continent that cry out to heaven and cause us pain, as this is a majority Catholic country.” |
