"Justice is truly just when it makes people happy," says the Pope
Written by Uganda Episcopal Conference
Exhorting the Judges, the Pope urged them to assume the grace they bear, with resolve and courage.
Be aware that “everything you can bring with your uprightness and commitment is very important.”
The Pope further advised them to “remember that when justice is truly just, that justice makes countries happy and their people worthy,” adding that “no sentence can be just, nor can any law be legitimate if what it produces is more inequality” or a “greater loss of rights, indignity or violence.”
Concluding, the Pope enjoined the participants to make of their poetry “a practice” in order to become “better poets and better judges.” He wished them a successful meeting and reminded them never to forget “that a poem that does not transform is just a handful of dead words.”
