Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe of Naples, Italy recently made a five day pastoral visit to the Italian community in Brooklyn, N.Y. where he called for the “humanization of globalization.”
The cardinal spoke with Italian immigrants from Naples, as well as Italian Ambassador Cesare Maria Ragaglini and Rabbi Arthur Schneier of the Park East Synagogue in New York.
Cardinal Sepe celebrated Mass at the chapel located in the U.N. Headquarters building, together with the apostolic nuncio to the U.N., Archbishop Francis Chullikatt.
In his homily the cardinal stressed the need “to be even more united in order to globalize justice, solidarity and peace,” reported L’Osservatore Romano. “We all know that in the great family of nations there should be no brotherhood without solidarity, without struggling for the common good with the arms of justice.”
