TSMA July 2009 Update: Italy

Trust of St Michael the Archangel in Italy

A number of eminent philosophers and professors have gathered to discuss the right way in Italian Society to concretely establish a cultural influence on society and youth at large.

The presence of the Vatican is obviously a tremendous help in Italian society for the diffusion of Catholic culture.

A number of conferences, a magazine and continuous links with existing magazines is seen as a way to bolster a new energetic approach to influence Italian Culture.

Prof Vassallo and Prof Rizza, who think that current moral confusion stems from a philosophical lack of clarity, are seen as two of the most important figures of this new Christian philosophical awakening in Italy.

TSMA, African Agriculture & Catholic Social Doctrine

The state of affairs in Africa has come to the attention of the world in the recent weeks due to the visit of the American president to the Continent and the G8 meeting in Italy where the problems of Africa were high on the agenda.

The Trust of St Michael the Archangel, in connection with a number of representatives of the civil society and political and religious world, is studying a new possibility to help the Continent to find a way (again) to progress.

One of the elements that the Trust is considering, which is essential in this quest, is the presence of missionaries all over the Continent which constitute a sensor for this enormous and troubled continent.

Italian supporters of the Trust have made contact with important food organizations and religious elements and is starting to explore the possibility of contacting African Governments whose record of administration is impeccable.

The project consists of the Trust liaising with religious organizations and international bodies that help agriculture and food distribution to create a model based on the Social Doctrine of the Church somewhere in Africa . A model that can then be copied anywhere in Africa.

More news on this endeavour to follow.
