CWN Editor's Note: In a prayer service following the inauguration of Chilean President Gabriel Boric, Cardinal Celestino Aós Braco of Santiago preached that “we belong to God and not to the State.”
“God gave us rights which the State must recognize and respect,” the 77-year-old Capuchin Franciscan cardinal added. “Men and women are equal in rights, duties and dignity; God called us and calls us today to live together as brothers and sisters ... We are here to renew our conviction that we cannot expect everything from rulers, but that each of us is responsible for the good of all.”
