The death of the Pope is the news that directly affects the Catholic Gray, which is estimated at about 1300 million people, or about 18 % of the world’s population. However, the Roman Pontef usually has a power that exceeds the Catholic world.
It is said that in the Yalta talks, in 1944, someone has the influence and ethical power of the Pope, which Stalin He replied, “And how many divisions the Pope possesses?” It is a story that reflects the realistic vision of strength instead of the fact that it can also be practiced by the word.
No one can deny, in this sense, the influence that he had, for example, the Pope John Paul II In democracy in Eastern European countries and the fall of the Soviet Union. Yes, Gorbachev He had more tanks WojtylaBut this was more effective in achieving the goal of overthrowing communist regimes.
Although I am not Catholic, I am sorry for Pope Francis’s death.
I know he had good reform intentions for the Catholic Church, but he could not implement it as he meant. As he said Roberto BlancardAdian expert, “his legacy was mysterious.” The truth is that the church was still very conservative after pairs of John Paul II Y Pordek 16.
The two most prominent issues where the Pope Francisco He used the strength of the word to influence the global community.
While the anti -migrant forces in Europe and the United States prohibited, the ink has become a difficult voice. In speeches and organizations, he realized the problem and called on responses to observe sympathy, solidarity and respect for human dignity.
In 2013, before the appearance Trump In American policy, Lambidosa, in the southern Mediterranean, visited an important entry point for immigrants to Europe. It was the first Royal trip outside Rome. In his sermon, the Pope expressed his pain “the globalization of indifference.” He asked, “Who cried for the people who were in the boat?” , With highlighting the lack of solidarity and urging new strategies in dealing with immigrants.
Correctly, against the Pope, the Pope has strengthened the merging of immigrants who urge Western countries to see immigration as an opportunity to build more comprehensive and fair societies.
In 2020, in its famous seasonal message All brothers That strengthened global brother love, Francisco The migrants who were asked to deal with dignity and respect did not avoid recognizing their rights and contributions to society.
Another issue to highlight the late ink is the issue of climate change.
Once again, in the context of the politicians denying this evil that humans do on this planet, put the Pope on the right side of history, and this, in favor of accepting climate reality and confronting one of the greatest human challenges.
In 2015, the publication was launched Laudato yesThis reveals your views on climate change and the environment.
Francisco Part of the hypothesis that the land is “our common house” and we must all participate in their care. In this sense, the global procedure is an urgent matter to solve the environmental problems facing our planet, which, by the way, as it is said, who affects more and the poorest of its poorest.
in Laudato yes There is a talk about environmental degradation, including the removal of forests, pollution and the loss of biological diversity. To threaten the natural balance and the systems we rely on. It criticizes severe consumerism and the culture of disposal that leads to waste of resources. It proposes a kind of environmental spirituality so that people see their relationship to nature as part of their faith, in a way that is generated moral responsibility for the environment.
This is clear that this is in favor of global policies that solve the problem of economic development models that recognize and respect environmental borders. Everyone, from individuals to world leaders, calls to participate in an open dialogue and take concrete measures to face environmental challenges. Learn about education as an ecosystem.
In a very interesting aspect, the Pope argues that both science and religion can cooperate in environmental care. There should not be differences in these two fields, throughout history, were in tension.
In any case, two cases in it FranciscoWith the power of the word, she placed herself against populist leaders in the West. to cut.
