Money at the service of life can be managed in the right way by cooperatives, on condition that it is a real cooperative where capital does not have command over men but men over capital.
The alliance of love between a man and a woman, an alliance for life, cannot be improvised, and is not made in a day.
To protect creation, to protect every man and every woman, to look upon them with tenderness and love is to open up a horizon of hope.
