A congress sponsored by Communion and Law will be held at Castelgandolfo (Rome) from 13-15 November 2015.
This international Congress will reflect and discuss the relationship between environment, person and law, starting from the laws and regulations enforced in different geographical areas and aiming at new legal openings to reinforce participation. The theoretical approach is based on tested facts: investigations on harm caused to the environment, involvement of populations in legislative proposals, firmness to face the strong power of the State mechanism, etc.
Experts and scholars in various academic and cultural fields, such as economics, environmental science, pedagogy, political science and architecture will contribute to enrich the conference, to prove the complexity of the topic discussed and to highlight the urgency of the issues in question. Against the background of these various themes emerges the prospect of a unitary vision, able to recompose the terms, man and nature, in a relational anthropology.
Maria Voce, president of the Focolare Movement, who was the first woman lawyer to be registered in the court of Cosenza, Italy will give her talk during the last session of the conference. Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmerio, president of the Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts and Maurizio D’Errico, president of the National Council of Notaries are among the guests invited to attend this conference.
