    Presentation of the Holy See Pavilion at EXPO 2015   
    Vatican City, 14 April 2015 (VIS) - A press conference was held this morning   
   in   
   the Holy See Press Office to present the Holy See Pavilion at "EXPO Milan"   
   2015,   
   Italy, to be held from 1 May to 31 October this year, which will take as its   
   theme: "Not by bread alone". The Pavilion was promoted, constructed and   
   organised by the Pontifical Council for Culture, the Italian Episcopal   
   Conference, the diocese of Milan and the Pontifical Council "Cor Unum".   
    The speakers at the conference were Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, president of   
   the Pontifical Council for Culture and commissioner general for the Holy See   
   for   
   EXPO 2015; Msgr. Domenico Pompili, under-secretary of the Italian Episcopal   
   Conference (CEI) and Msgr. Luca Bressan, episcopal vicar for culture, charity,   
   the mission and social action in the diocese of Milan.   
    Cardinal Ravasi explained that "the presence of the Holy See Pavilion at EXPO   
   Milan 2015 is not a novelty, considering that from the papacies of Pius IX to   
   Benedict XVI the Holy See has taken part in international exhibitions to   
   demonstrate the Church's desire to make her voice heard and to offer her   
   testimony regarding the delicate themes, relevant to the future, that are from   
   time to time proposed by the Expositions, especially in recent decades. The   
   cultural policy of the Holy See therefore remains coherent in confirming the   
   importance of being present and taking part in debates on crucial matters   
   regarding the ways in which we inhabit our planet and safeguard the future".   
    In particular, for EXPO 2015, the Holy See intends to guide visitors'   
   attention   
   towards the symbolic relevance of nourishment and the potential for the   
   anthropological development of the theme in all its breadth and complexity. The   
   Holy See Pavilion will take as its title two short Biblical phrases: 'Not by   
   bread alone' and 'Give us today our daily bread', which lead towards a broad   
   and   
   full rather than a reductive view of human needs, and to a concrete approach   
   mindful of daily life, with its demands and emergencies".   
    Msgr. Domenico Pompili affirmed that "the intention of EXPO 2015 is to imagine   
   another form of food justice, thereby providing the opportunity for world   
   Countries to share ideas on how to improve food security. Its purpose is also   
   to   
   reconsider the role of science and research, crucial to the development of risk   
   management technology. In the meantime, it is important to acknowledge the   
   ongoing commitment of Italian churches to ensuring food to those in need. The   
   participation of the Italian Episcopal Conference, alongside the Holy See and   
   the diocese of Milan, thus represents a commitment that extends beyond the   
   timeframe of Milan's Universal Exhibition. Over 4,000,000 people in Italy (70   
   per cent of whom are Italian citizens) currently live below the poverty line   
   while the number of the most deprived requiring food aid in Italy continues to   
   rise. These people are supported in their primary needs by almost 15,000   
   territorial charitable structures. Through food parcels, soup kitchens or other   
   more innovative forms of intervention, such structures offer support to the   
   most   
   needy".   
    Msgr. Luca Bressan commented that the Holy See Pavilion will offer to help   
   tourists and citizens encounter "the mystical dimension, openness to God". He   
   added that the method to be followed will be that of posing problems and making   
   suggestions to solve them, "used with success by Pope Francis, to show that the   
   Church is not a sour schoolmistress but rather a sister who shares our path   
   with   
   lucidity and a vision of the future, a devoted mother able to show the ways and   
   the resources of the future". On 18 May, the Church's presence at Expo Milan   
   2015 will be inaugurated with a show demonstrating that the relationship with   
   food is the place in which man's lack of harmony with Creation and with other   
   human beings is made most tangible; "where, more than any other place, the   
   throwaway culture is most glaringly evident".   
    The feast day of Corpus Christi will be celebrated during Expo Milan 2015,   
   offering an opportunity to show to the world that "the nourishment and future   
   of   
   man and of Creation are protected and generated by this bread that is, in   
   reality, the body and blood of Jesus Christ, Who died for us and rose again,   
   God's love made flesh. ... We will be able to show how, in Jesus Christ, God   
   makes   
   us able to be in solidarity with all these hungers". Expo will also serve to   
   highlight that Christians cannot fail to be environmentally aware, since the   
   consequences of consumerism and wastefulness that obscure the original role   
   linked to food and the act of nourishing are clearly visible in "emergencies   
   such as the waste of resources and the enormous inequalities in their   
   distribution, ... and in the phenomenon of pollution and the unchecked   
   exploitation of the planet's resources". All this "is contrary to the Creator's   
   original plan and is the sign of a still very immature way of undertaking our   
   task of inhabiting the planet like a garden able to nourish everyone".   
   Therefore, in the streets of Milan, in the abbeys that surround the city and in   
   the "Sacri Monti" of the Alps, the feast day of Creation, a traditional event   
   for Eastern Christians, will be celebrated and will become for the visitors of   
   Expo Milan 2015 a form of "sentinel" for nature.
