International Catholic Legislators Network (ICLN) meeting in Rome paved a way for a group of lawmakers to meet Holy Father Pope Francis on 27th August, 2017. His Holiness reminded the lawmakers to be guided by the teachings of the Church and also stressed to follow social doctrines. Holy Father noted the broad spectrum of political opinion represented by the legislators taking part, during the meeting.
As reported by news.va, Holy Father Pope Francis remarked that “As long as the contribution of the Church to the great questions of the society in our time can be put into discussion, it is vital that your commitment be constantly pervaded by her moral and social teachings, in order to build a more humane and just society.”
ICLN was founded in 2010 by His Lordship Cardinal Christoph Schonborn of Vienna and British Parliamentarian Lord David Alton, to bring together Catholic legislators to discuss issues of common concern and share ideas about how best to bring their common faith to bear on their work in favor of the common good.
