Dom Roberto Francisco Ferreria Paz publishes study on mercy and power

First source report

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Bishop Roberto Francisco Ferreria Paz of Campos has published a study examining how forgiveness and service serve as foundations for exercising power.

In the work, Bishop Paz references a study by author Cristina Sá de Carvalho titled "Mercy as a Political Category: Caring for the Fragility of People and Peoples." He connects these ideas to Cardinal Walter Kasper's views on the political dimension of mercy and Pope Francis's teachings on the perfect justice of mercy.
