Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Secretary of State of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV, and Miguel Angel Moratinos, Secretary-General of the United Nations, High Representative of the Alliance of Civilisations and Special Envoy for the fight against Islamophobia, have written the prefaces to Michele Capasso's book ‘UNITED STATES OF THE WORLD. A TRUE STORY OF GOD’.
Thirteen hundred pages recounting the main stages of the mission undertaken forty years ago with the “United States of the World” and the “Fondazione Mediterraneo” for dialogue and peace: a web of sensations, emotions and memories interwoven with articles, essays, videos and reflections that the author has published over the years in newspapers and periodicals in various countries around the world.
It is the story of a uniquely human experience, at a historic moment when the Mediterranean, at the turn of two millennia, took on strategic importance for peace and shared development.
Fratricidal wars, destruction of creation, climate change, forced migration, ecological disasters, lack of democracy and corruption are some of the causes that threaten the lives of people on every continent. Michele Capasso takes action against these and other issues by urging people not to give up, as evidenced by the stories told in this book with simple and effective writing: it is a mix of narrative and reportage, where everything is strictly true and verifiable in documents, videos and images.
The overall meaning of the narrative is to highlight, at the crossroads of global society, the great strength that human beings have been able to develop in their connection with the earth, its inhabitants and the sea, facing the adversities of every historical period without ever losing faith in tomorrow.
