Healing a Broken World
Judge: The Ignatian way of looking at the world
After assessing the situation that we find ourselves in, the Task Force
applied different filters to the findings. Recent General Congregations, the
Bible and Catholic Social Teaching, insights from the social sciences and
other world religions, among others, are employed in an effort to make

challenges.
