Big Tent – Draft 6th communique to discuss, finalise and release at the PASCAL Catania Conference in October.

Submitted by Chris Duke on June 25, 2015 - 18:03

PASCAL is a founder and lead player in the Big Tent initiative started in 2010. Here is a draft towards a communique for our Catania Conference in October.

We want something that will not be easily ignored. The Pope's new and unequivocal Encyclical sets the bar pretty high!
