Santo Domingo. – In a moving and criticism reflection during the sermon of the seven words, held this Good Friday 2025, Sister Carmen Dolores Ferrer, of the Congregation of the Charity of Cardinal Sancha, denounced the deep social and economic inequalities that affect the peoples of the Caribbean and Latin America.
By meditating on the sixth word of Jesus on the cross-“everything is consummated”-, the religious warned that a reality of exclusion persists that contradicts the values of the Gospel, which he called “anti-reino.”
«Large sectors of the population are still considered disposable or disposable, simply because they are not functional to the system. Unemployment, urban overcrowding, violence, corruption and destruction of the environment grow, while we get used to a deeply unfair reality, ”he lamented.

Ferrer also questioned the care and populist policies implemented by governments, noting that far from reducing the social gap, they perpetuate a structural inequality that he considers “insurmountable.”
In his speech, he also condemned the advancement of drug trafficking, armed violence, the expansion of marginalized communities and the growing concentration of economic power, all to the detriment of the common good and human dignity.
“Our peoples are subject to deeply unfair economic systems, which favor a few at the expense of the exploitation of many, especially workers, workers and peasants,” he said forcefully.
The sister concluded her message with a call to collective reflection, urging to resume commitment to life, justice and human dignity as essential foundations to build a society truly in tune with the principles of the kingdom of God.
