AMERICA/BRAZIL - Bishops’ refelection: "Thinking Brazil", social inequalities in Brazil

Wednesday, 27 May 2015

Brasilia (Agenzia Fides) - The second volume of "Thinking Brazil" has been published. The text, approved on the occasion of the general Assembly of the National Conference of Brazilian Bishops (CNBB) held in April in Aparecida, deals with social inequalities in Brazil and is a contribution of analysis and search for answers on the subject.
In the light of the Gospel, the text deals with situations such as the increase of violence in Brazilian society and corruption, considered endemic, which increases inequality. "We are always invited to research and reflect on this report and on the concrete situations experienced by the children of God", said the auxiliary Bishop of Brasilia and Secretary General of the CNBB, His Exc. Mgr. Leonardo Steiner, in the statement sent to Fides.
The series "Thinking Brazil" is an analysis of the Bishops of Brazil on the issues of the country’s reality. Last year the General Assembly of the CNBB approved the first volume, which addressed the theme "Challenges before the 2014 elections", with indications regarding the campaign that was underway (see Fides 12/05/2014).
