In discussing violence in his homeland, Bishop Jorge Enrique Jiménez Carvajal of Zipaquira said: «It is a pity that the Armed Revolutionary Forces of Colombia are seeking social justice by committing the worst injustices, such as depriving a person of his liberty.»
The bishop, who is also president of the Latin American bishops’ council (CELAM), was liberated from his captors in November by the Colombian army.
«Social justice will never be the product of injustice, never,» he said today in the Mundo Solidario program of Spanish Catholic television. «It is impossible for injustice to produce justice. This is the tragedy of all that we are going through in our country.»
