The Jubilee Year of Hope that the Catholic Church is experiencing this year is present in the XXVII Conference Catholics and Public Life 2025. It is this virtue that will be the focus of a conference in which will participate, among other speakers Kevin Roberts, president of The Heritage Foundation, Sophia Kuby, director of Strategic Relations and Training of ADF International, the Venezuelan activist and founder of the NGO Operation Freedom, Laurent Saleh or the disseminator of family issues, Pep Borrell.
This was announced by the coordinators of the Conference, José Masip and María San Gil, in a meeting with the media at the Colegio Mayor San Pablo in Madrid. José Masip emphasized the commitment of Catholics, especially the media, in the field of "giving hope". "The Catholic by his very being can never give up hope," said Masip.
Reading of the manifesto
For her part, Maria San Gil was in charge of reading the manifesto of this congress, which emphasizes that "without absolute truths, with our backs turned to God and normalizing his abandonment in public life, we will continue in free fall towards the abyss. Therefore, Catholics have the obligation to identify the Truth in each and every one of the facts that we live".
With 27 national editions behind it and many others in other parts of Spain such as Valencia, Bilbao or Cadiz, Catholics and Public Life has established itself as one of the key events in the thought and action of Spanish Catholics in civil, social, political and cultural life.
