Correspondence
An updating from the Philippines
Paolo Nicelli
Again Filipino Christians have been struck down by the assassin’s hand. The testimony of Paolo Nicelli helps us understand the recent attack in Cotabato City (west-central Mindanao) against the local Christian community, which left five people dead and 45 wounded, an event closely linked to the history of the island’s long and unresolved political and military conflict.

Analysis
The Revolutionary contribution of Benedict XVI to the economic thought: the Pope’s new Encyclical,
Card. Angelo Scola
(www.angeloscola.it)
The Patriarch of Venice Card Angelo Scola comments the Pope’s new Encyclical “Caritas in Veritate, focusing on the “revolutionary edge” of this work which invites people of good will, experts included, to consider the need for a new model of economic development based on giving, freely, and on brotherhood. An apparent paradox, this necessary turning point shows how societies must come to terms with the sometimes violent and dramatic process of civilisational métissage.
