THE HOLY SEE AND GERMANY REFLECT UPON THE ECONOMIC CRISIS
Vatican City, 6 December 2012 (VIS) - This morning in the Vatican Apostolic
Palace the Holy Father Benedict XVI received in audience the President of the
Federal Republic of Germany, Joachim Gauck, who subsequently went on to meet
with Cardinal
Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone S.D.B., accompanied by Msgr. Ettore
Balastrero, under secretary for Relations with States.
The discussions highlighted the cordial nature of bilateral relations;
attention was given to the Christian view of the person, as well as to the
challenges currently posed by globalisation and the secularisation of society.
This was followed by a fruitful exchange of opinions on the international
situation and the current economic crisis, especially in relation to its
consequences in Europe, and the contribution that the Catholic Church may
offer.
