Dear Teo,
Just like me, you are suffering government intervention in our right to walk in the city. The epidemic took us by surprise, didn't it? 2020 is being a peculiar year now that we have to be trapped inside the house with our families all the time, because our biggest and deadliest enemy is lurking outside and who would say that such a dangerous enemy would be so small, a virus. It is ironic when I think about it.
However, I understand that this government intervention in our freedom to go where we want is necessary. We must have the responsibility of not helping the corobavirus to proliferate and we must also be careful not to pass it on to our families or to overburden hospitals. Although the lack of freedom bothers me, I understand my responsibility in this event and I hope you understand too.
What makes me sad is that even seeing the seriousness of the situation many people disrespect and pretend that nothing is happening, it will prolong our "prison" at home and could harm many people.
I hope you found ways to have fun and write to me soon, as we have plenty of time now.
Kind regards.
Dean Patch

This publication contains two documents,the bishops' statement Sharing Catholic Social Teaching: Challenges and Directions and the Summary Report of the Task Force on Catholic Social Teaching and Catholic Education. The bishops' statement was developed by the Committee on Education, the Committee on Domestic Policy, and the Committee on International Policy, and it was approved by the bishops on June 19, 1998. It is a response to the report of the Task Force on Catholic Social Teaching and Catholic Education, which was created in 1995 by these three committees. The task force's summary report is included as an appendix to this publication. The bishops' statement reflects the action of the bishops, and the summary report is the work of the task force. These two documents are approved for publication by the undersigned.
Our community of faith is blessed with many gifts. Two of the most vital are our remarkable commitment to Catholic education and catechesis in all its forms and our rich tradition of Catholic social teaching. As we look to a new millennium, there is an urgent need to bring these two gifts together in a strengthened commitment to sharing our social teaching at every level of Catholic education and faith formation.
