«Un cœur docile pour gérer la chose publique»

Abstract

This is a fictive interview of Pope John Paul III, the successor of Benedict XVI, and a Pope very committed in politics. To explain his vision of the role of Christian faith in the political life, he recalls the speech given by his predecessor, Benedict XVI, in September 2011, before the Federal German Parliament, the Bundestag. In a very simple and familiar way, he reflects on the mission of political leaders: to serve the justice and the law. But how to recognize what is just? What are the foundations of the law? Is it still relevant to consider nature as one of them?
