Yes (Rule, § 7.2.) Charity is also a work of justice. As Vincentians, we seek: - to contribute to reform the social injustice (economic field) and fight the structures of sin (moral field). - to respect man, in particular when he is fragile and threatened, from his conception to his death (frailty is also a form of poverty) - another form of poverty is « not to have the choice ». In certain cases, to spot the one that « does not have the choice » is an excellent revealing means in order to identify the poorest.
If Vincentians, as such, do not get involved in politics in a partisan sense, they can take a political action in the noblest sense, which is the search for the common good. |
