About this Quote

In this quote, Bono is highlighting the value of brotherhood and the function of the church in society. He argues that physical distance should not determine who is considered a brother or not, as true brotherhood goes beyond geographical boundaries. Bono then shifts his focus to the function of the church, mentioning that it should handle the responsibility of being the ethical compass in the free market. He thinks that the church should not merely protect the actions of the free market, but rather hold it responsible and guide it towards a more ethical and meaningful presence. Bono's words act as a call to action for the church to utilize its influence for the higher good of society.
