 Pope John Paul II 30 November 1980 Mercy of God
Jesus Christ taught that man not only receives and experiences the mercy of God, but that he is also called "to practice mercy" toward others: "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy."[120] The church sees in these words a call to action, and she tries to practice mercy.
From all this it follows that mercy does not pertain only to the notion of God, but it is something that characterizes the life of the whole people of Israel and each of its sons and daughters: Mercy is the content of intimacy with their Lord, the content of their dialogue with him.
Mercy that is truly Christian is also, in a certain sense, the most perfect incarnation of "equality" between people, and therefore also the most perfect incarnation of justice as well, insofar as justice aims at the same result in its own sphere.

The principle of charity has created the impression that there is no progress in philosophy by preserving what appear to be the arguments and theories of the great thinkers in history.
The principle of charity (TPC hereafter) is not to blame.
