For the reader to understand my social philosophy he has to read this note. My thoughts are close to those of Charles Darwin , the father of modern biology, and of Stephen Hawking, the father of modern day cosmology, i.e., I deny the intervention and the existence of any supernatural force in our universe . I do believe in the mission of the Church and I will stress in this text its importance for humanity.
