translated from Spanish: Celestino Aós: “There is no doubt that the Constitution must be changed”

The apostolic administrator of Santiago, Celestino Aós referred to the current situation in Chile and aformed that a deep social pact is necessary, including a new Constitution.In a conversation with the newspaper Encuentro belonging to the archbishop Santiago, Aos assured that “we have to agree on the Chileans on what we mean by social pact, because, in short, it is not a meeting to impose ourselves hegemonically over each other, but to listen together, to discern each other and reach consensus points.” if no profound changes are made, we will be talking about makeup and we will repeat the same story and the burst will be just as strong or greater. Society and those who are suffering are very alert, and they will not tolerate something that is not sustained,” he added. In addition, he stated that “there is no doubt that the Constitution and certain structures must be changed, but there is also no doubt that we need to change the person who is willing to go to burn one public good or to insult the other.” I believe that all the pain that we are suffering, and which is falling mostly on the poorest, has to lead us to reflect on why it has occurred and how we can prevent it from occurring again,” he added. He also self-critical of the Church for the social crisis and argued that “we must consider our own fragility and that of our brethren. In the Church we are all and when we go to Mass we say I confess before God that I am a sinner and recognize all the sins of my brethren.” Secondly, to see what we are trying to do about crimes as disconcerting as abuses, we must ask ourselves as human beings how we come to this, because the important thing is to look to the future and think about what we have to do so that this does not happen again ” so that there will be no abuse again and so that there is no violence,” he said. The dead hurt us. Each and every one of them. And the wounded, too. Whether they’re in uniform or not wearing. Regardless of whether a man who violated his human rights had an endowment for being a member of a respectable institution, it doesn’t matter, because it would have been the same with a violation of rights to the corner neighbour,” Aós concluded.
