Welcome to an exclusive interview with Rocco Buttiglione, a prominent figure in Italian politics and academia. Reflecting on the divine gift of the earth, Buttiglione emphasizes the importance of human responsibility towards caring for our planet. As he aptly puts it, “God has created the earth and given it to men.”

With a rich political background, including roles as Minister of Politics of the European Union and Minister of Cultural Assets and Activities, Buttiglione brings a wealth of experience to his current position.
IX International Diploma in New York
Join us for the upcoming IX International Diploma organized by the International Academy of Catholic Leaders, set to take place from July 19 to 28 at Saint John’s University in New York. Buttiglione underscores the caliber of the teaching staff, stating, “We have gathered top-level professors and practical intellectuals to guide us in fostering a Christian practice of politics, rather than imposing a Catholic political ideology.”
Featuring internationally recognized leaders, the program will delve into key issues impacting human and social development. From former presidents to advisors and advocates, the lineup includes experts like Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, Mario Paredes, Enrique García, Fernando Carrillo, Fernando Sánchez, Rodrigo Guerra, Eduardo Almeida, and Alejandra Segura.
Promoting Comprehensive Human Development
Buttiglione stresses the need for integral human development, stating, “Man’s responsibility is to take care of the earth so that each created thing can reach its full potential. If man neglects the earth, he rejects God’s gift, turning our home into a prison or worse, a tomb.”
