Pandemic Genocide

Raimundo C. Barreto, Jr. writes about the work of Cardinal Michael Czerny who is head of the Migrants and Refugees Section of the Dicastery for the Vatican’s Comprehensive Human Development Service.

Cardinal Czerny examines the impact of COVID-19 on the Brazilian people and stated the following:

“COVID-19 not only intensifies the human rights violations that are already happening, but also acts as an amplifier, a magnifying glass or an x-ray that reveals the immoral social structures present in the world. This is not a surprise to those who suffer them, but it can and should open the eyes of those who are responsible for them.” (Religión Digital 2020)
