The world needs peacemakers, President Sergio Mattarella said in message sent Friday to Bernhard Scholz, President of the Meeting for Friendship Among Peoples Foundation at the start of the annual Rimini Meeting of the influential Catholic activist group Comunione e Liberazione (CL).
    "We need community builders.

Builders of coexistence, peace, participation, and solidarity.
    "Builders of a society capable of managing change while remaining humane at its core and in its civilization.
    "We cannot take for granted the achievements that previous generations have passed on to us.
    "Freedom, democracy, peace, and the social model must be continually regenerated while remaining faithful to their core values.

Regenerated and shared." Mattarella also urged people to go foward without fear.
    "We must not let ourselves be overcome by complexities and fears.
    "Communities decay where disengagement or indifference prevail.
    "Building means getting back on track with history.
    "Even if this requires crossing difficult terrain," Mattarella said in the message to Scholz.
