Rome, Italy, Apr 13, 2014 \/ 07:03 am (CNA\/EWTN News<\/a>).- The Vatican body concerned with justice and peace presented a book Friday which considers their connection with energy, and how energy can both threaten and serve integral human development.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cIn this book, the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace addresses a dialogue between faith and energy,\u201d said Cardinal Peter Turkson, president of the pontifical council, at the presentation of \u201cEnergy, Justice and Peace\u201d held April 11 at a research and development agency in Rome.<\/p>\n

\tThe book is subtitled: \u201cA reflection on energy in the current context of development and the protection of the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\u201cWe receive testimonies of violence and oppression because of the energy from bishops\u2019 conferences,\u201d he continued. \u201cThis proves how much energy is indispensable for everyone, and how much a contribution to a collective reflection was needed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tThe book, authored by the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace and published in December, was presented with interventions by officials of the council and by energy experts, including Gianpeiro Celata of Italy\u2019s National Agency for New Technologies, Energy, and Sustainable Economic Development, where the presentation was held.<\/p>\n

\tAccording to Bishop Mario Toso, secretary of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, there is a need for \u201ca global cooperation among all institutions interested in the themes of energy. Energy is a common good, destined for everyone \u2014 according to the perspective of the universal destination of goods.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\u201cThe common good we are talking about is the good of the family of peoples,\u201d Bishop Toso said.<\/p>\n

\tBishop Toso then stressed that \u201cin view of the realization of peace \u2013 and peace includes several goods \u2013 it is necessary that energy be thought of, produced, distributed, and used, according to a new paradigm.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tBishop Toso underscored the need for \u201ca new economic model\u201d aimed at \u201crealizing the common good of the human family.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tTebaldo Vinciguerra, an official of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, underscored the need for a \u201cgreen economy\u201d which is concerned with the good of human persons, and not solely profits or the environment.<\/p>\n

\tAccording to the pontifical council, the book \u201cis not a geopolitical analysis, a planning document of a technical character or a universal scope, but rather a reflection meant to nurture other reflections, to inspire decision making on the part of competent authorities \u2026 to provide theoretical knowledge to those directly engaged in the field, and finally to increase public awareness of the question of energy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\u201cThe approach is interdisciplinary and general, as the work of the Pontifical Council was made in the light of the Gospel, the social teaching of the Church and its principles and criteria of judgement, without entering into technical-political details.\u201d<\/p>\n
