A central theme is that of participation in community life in the face of an ever-growing disaffection which in the South affects young people even more. In his book the author examines the relationship between Christianity and the common good and reflects on the commitment of believers to “public affairs”. There is a need to bridge the abysmal gap between politics and ordinary life, as confirmed by the high abstention rate that is now recorded at every election.
