According to the cardinals. Parolin, rethinking requires action in many areas. – Firstly, the overarching nonsubjective of all future actions must stay to eradicate poverty, remembering that improvement is synonymous with peace. A peaceful and prosperous future so requires the political will to usage all possible means to accomplish sustainable development.

The Holy See does not consider abortion or access to abortion or victims of abortion to be a dimension of these terms – he noted.
