Neither the "modern technology" nor "statistical calculations" nor "food aids" are "enough to cope with the lack of food". This is the belief of the Pope, who, in the message he sent today to the Fao Summit, wished for "a political action that, taking inspiration from those principles of natural law that are inscribed in the hearts of man, will protect the dignity of the human being", so as to respect "the order of Creation" and to be adopted "as a guiding principle for everyone’s good". "Only the protection of the human being the Pope’s underlying statements can fight the main cause of hunger, that is, the human being’s withdrawing from his fellows, that dissolves solidarity, justifies consumeristic lifestyles and disintegrates the social fabric, preserving or even deepening the furrow of unfair balances and neglecting the deepest needs of good". "If the respect of human dignity were made to prevail in negotiations, decisions and their implementation goes on the Pope , one could overcome obstacles that are otherwise impassable and would eliminate or at least reduce indifference for other people’s good" (continued).
