Archbishop Ferretti defends agriculture to save territory
Archbishop Ferretti of Foggia-Bovino called for the defense of agriculture to protect the local territory following protests by farmers and transporters in the Foggia region. According to Vatican News, the Archbishop, who is also the bishop-elect of Lucera-Troia, noted that rising diesel costs are causing growing desperation among workers.
Ferretti highlighted the deep suffering of those affected by increasing costs but stated that blocking public services and breaking the law cannot be justified, according to InfoCatólica. He also raised concerns regarding illegal labor practices and urged for investments in peace.
