“Il bisogno di un nuovo umanesimo - Pope Francis said in his speech to the General Assembly of the Italian Bishops, last May – is shouted by a society devoid of hope, shaken his confidence in many fundamental, impoverished by a crisis that, rather than economic, is cultural, moral and spiritual. Considering this scenario, community discernment is the soul of the path of preparation for the Ecclesial Convention of Florence in the next year: aid, please, not to stop on the floor - even noble - of ideas, but straddle glasses are able to grasp and understand the reality and, then, roads to govern, aiming to make it more just and fraternal community of men ".
