“Sister Death”
“Sister
Death” is the title of the book presented at the UCAM, Catholic University of
Murcia, by Monsignor Vincenzo Paglia, president of the Pontifical Academy for
Life and of the Pontifical John Paul II Theological Institute. Paglia highlighted in his speech that the
concept of death has been erased from the cultural landscape, and no one talks
about it any more.
The prelate emphasized the “cultural
campaign” that has been carried out about Euthanasia with the aim of making the
elderly demand it themselves. He also stressed “the problem of loneliness in
today’s society due to the strength of the current culture of individualism,
fragmentation and lack of fraternity”.
José Luis Mendoza, president of the UCAM,
also took part in the ceremony and said that “at the Catholic University, we
are united to the Pope, we totally identify with him”.
Mendoza also announced together with
Monsignor Paglia that the Catholic University will organise a congress with the
Pontifical Academy for Life that will focus on palliative care.
Worldwide
dissemination of the Studies on Marriage and Family
Also in the context of this event, José
Luis Mendoza recalled that the UCAM is working along with the Pontifical John
Paul II Theological Institute in the dissemination of the studies on marriage
and family, taking this training to the most disadvantaged regions of the world
through on-line degrees. Those who complete those degrees obtain both the
ecclesiastical certificate of the Pontifical Institute and the civil
certificate granted by the Catholic University. Javier Belda, dean of the
Faculty of Human, Canonical and Religious Sciences, is the coordinator for
these studies.
