at the opening of the XII International Conference on Globalization
and Development Problems, the Monsignor described as exemplary what
the Caribbean nation has done in other nations, in the health and
education sectors.

globalized world for those who need material goods, as must exist
between religions as well, an approach promoted by Pope Benedict
XVI.

although the goods on Earth are abundant, they are not enough.

absolutely necessary, he said.

can also help resolve the problem of the world hunger.

oldest one, founded in 1603, considers scientifically proven the
theory that global warming is caused by man, which sends into the
atmosphere amounts of carbon from burning fossil fuels.
We need to turn to a clean energy sources like wind, sun and water,
he said

shaped like abridge, and that that is what it is between America and
the Caribbean and the West as well.
