I long for a society
in which modernity would have its full place but without implying the denial of elementary principles of human and familial ecology; for a society
in which the diversity of
ways of being, of
living, and of desiring is accepted as fortunate, without allowing this diversity to be diluted
in the reduction to the lowest common denominator,
which effaces all differentiation; for a society
in which, despite the technological deployment of virtual realities and the free play of critical intelligence, the simplest words — father, mother, spouse, parents — retain their meaning, at once symbolic and embodied; for a society
in which children are welcomed and
find their place, their whole place, without becoming objects that must be possessed at all costs, or pawns

in economic management and the building of temples,
in the constant improvement of justice by changing laws,

which is also inscribed
in the wisdom of God and
