He said this in a message issued on Tuesday (12/11/24) on the occasion of World Fisheries Day, which is held on November 21.
This message is based on the twentieth verse of Genesis chapter 1, “Let the waters bring forth living creatures.” Cardinal Cherney, who says that water is often a symbol of human instability and unrest in scripture, explains that this Fisherman’s Day celebration is a unique opportunity to learn deeply about the relationship between sister water and development complete
It is worrying that fishing, one of the oldest professions of mankind, has changed a large part of our planet, calling it an unprecedented and environmentally unfriendly modernization. Cardinal Cherney says that the centuries-old balance between human labor and nature has been upset by technologies aimed at exploitation and profit.
It shows that the Church shares not only in the joys and hopes but also in the sadness and anxiety of humanity, which is called in this historical period to rediscover a common culture and fraternity as a social and political dimension as an alternative to indifferent globalization.
