Pope: Church Defends the Natural Law for Good of All Society.

The Church raises her voice to defend the natural law and ethical principles that derive from anthropology and defending the interests of all humanity. The Pope reiterated these facts in his speech to Fernando Zegers Santa Cruz, Chile's new ambassador to the Holy See. Benedict XVI recalled the bicentennial of the independence of the Latin American country that has been celebrated in 2010. He also stressed the positive contribution that the Church wants to provide to ensure the growth of all Chilean society. The Church works simply and effectively, the Pope said, to promote the common good, the right progress, and the peaceful and harmonious coexistence of all citizens. In this sense, the Church reaffirms the need to combat poverty, favors marriage between a man and a woman, and stresses the right of parents to choose an education for their children. These principles are derived from natural law and are in favor of all citizens.
