Hollerich: defender a própria pátria sem desprezar a do vizinho

In brief

Cardinal Hollerich, the archbishop of Luxembourg, said people should defend their own homeland without looking down on the country of their neighbor. Speaking ahead of the Pope's visit to Metz on September 28, Hollerich noted the relevance of the teachings of Robert Schuman, a founding father of Europe.

Hollerich said men and women must not fear entering the political arena to work for peace and justice. He stated that people should be able to look beyond borders while still maintaining their own identity.
