Consequently, the awareness of this interdependence obliges us to think of a single world, of a common project in which moral theology must also take charge of the conflicts that affect the whole world. This scenario and theological framework show us where, and give us the reasons why we should undertake this challenging task of building an intercultural moral theology, which, when based on a relational theology, underlines how important it is to become aware of our interdependence and that we are obliged to think of a single world and to build a common project, bearing in mind that it will ultimately be a matter of entering into a relationship of communion because we are all one.
