Con algo de pena y vergüenza ajena me tocó enterarme del lamentable espectáculo que dio el ex Presidente FEUC del año 1973 en un foro organizado recientemente, quien llamó directamente to combat those who believe in the consensus and agreements. But beyond the attack, which should interest us is to ask about what your opinion interprets and where we can take an attitude like the one proposed.
A Catholic University, like ours, is part of the Church, imperfect and human. She, like the world around her and in which it is embedded, comprises various views and positions, constantly in conflict. If already in a Church that is governed by the same Pontiff and one truth that holds so much conflict is not expected that the agreements are those who maintain a healthy living? Until today, more struggles that arise, I do not see it poke a new schism or has movements "separatists" who intend to form a new religion.
scientific research, either pure or social sciences, is based on constant observation of its objects of scrutiny. If we take our beloved country sample, we observe that in those instances in which consensus has not been respected and has attempted to move to bring those who think differently, the results have been terrible. If we continue this brief analysis, we can see that those sectors that have advocated individualism (or failing corporatism) are those most likely to totalitarian attitudes or undemocratic. It is no coincidence that these events are crossed and allow us to draw some interesting conclusions.
In society today, our desire for freedom and independence make us think that it is based solely on the choice. But we forget interdependence allows us to survive and thrive as a society, that makes us unite in common ideals and makes us responsible for the integration we have with our environment. It is this responsibility that allows us to freely and independently, to waive pursuit of goals or ideals that go beyond our egos or unions, is the responsibility of taking charge of the development of society as a whole that calls us to reach a consensus as to achieve desired social peace.
