The Christian faith relates to suffering not merely as remover or consoler. It offers no 'supernatural remedy for suffering' but strives for a 'supernatural use for it.' A person's wounds are not taken from him. Even the risen Christ still had his scars.

Love does not think only in interpersonal terms; it lives in structural attentiveness to reality as well. It is inseparably bound to justice - which is one the great strengths of the Jewish and the Christian tradition. Love's political name is justice. More and more human beings suffer from our economic system. More and more human beings suffer from our ecological condition. Lacking measures to intervene on behalf of the most powerless and for their protection, and without declaring work a human right, this market economy offers no model of humaneness. It can function for a segment of the world's affluent people only. Presently more than 75 percent of all countries are organized according to our system of Neoliberalism, while in nine of ten countries people go hungry and are allowed to die of hunger. Does the market have nothing to do with that? It know no needs, only demands; that is its principle of operation. Those who have nothing to offer to meet this demand are dead. For need itself is not marketable."
