Pope Francis, a loving patron determined to protect children.

Deborara Castillao Lubov – Vatican City

“Pope Francis wanted a church in which he could herald the gospel’s message without obstacles and that people could be treated with love, just as God loves them.”

In this way, bishop John Kennedy, secretary of the Dicastery Disciplinary Department of the faith of faith, was expressed in an interview with the Vatican news after the death of Pope Francis on April 21.

He did not leave a letter of things to do it. He did not leave a list. But with his private life, with his gestures and words, he left a model to follow up. He gave us a major chapter, showing us how we can be practical and loyal Christians these days. “

He never lost the sponsor’s touch

People told me that they were very grateful for their inheritance, for example, as “incredibly” personal Pope “, and while he tried to live his faith every day, in both young and great gestures.”

“Pope Francis struggled to get this personal contact with people because in his heart he was a sponsor and never lost this touch.”

Dialogue and passion for what is not true

“I remember that simplicity in their greatness and all the obstacles he gave in Santa Marta, which were reviewed in the newspapers. But behind all this there was courage and passion for change, and in fact, he wanted to condemn what was not true.”

He said: “At the same time, he was warm with people with whom the same opinion did not participate, but he tried to listen to them and dialogue and work with them.”

Archbishop Kennedy recalled that “the word Francisco in ancient French means” a free man “, and certainly, Pope Francis, was very free to make those who considered it the best, despite the restrictions of his trade.

A approach to victims and combating ill -treatment

Pope Francis, as is the case with the scandals of ill -treatment, which struck the church, gave great importance to the work we are doing here in Dikstiri, but in his own way, he suggested that “it is certain that he is the steadfastness of the victims. He wrote to the Irish Church, but in reality he was writing to the entire church.”

“What Pope Francis was doing, especially with the establishment of the papal committee to protect the palace, the Archbishop Kennedy explained,” The prevention was very important in the life of the church, as well as education and training, and we had to have the highest possible criteria. “

Protect children and justice to infection

Therefore, when asking two dicasterios who work together, the late Pope “shows that the approach to the hand is the only way to work children protect and ensure the justice they suffered.”

Pope Francis recalled many occasions with the victims, and the head of the Disciplinary Department mentioned DDF. “The people who suffered from their presence and their vigilance ear, the poets who heard their apology deeply for what he said.”

“It was built on The Legacy, which was started by Pope San Juan Paul II for the first time, which gave us the guardianship of Moto Broprio Sarmntum in 2001. Then, in 2010, he was renewed, then Pope Francis renewed it again in February 2021.”

Anti -abuse is the entire mission of the church

He said: “What I was saying mainly is that the violations of the fighting are the work of the entire church,” noting that this motivation led to many initiatives at the local level while creating commissions to protect the palace on the diocese and even the level of the parish.

In this context, he added that Pope Francis certainly “admitted the wound and pain” and “brought pain to his heart, after he forgave several times for violations in the church.”

The DDF official noticed that “it was something that truly disturbed him. He knew that all these scandals were abuse and anything wrong, whether it was abuse of power, abuse of power, or abuse of minors, an obstacle to preaching the gospel.”

He received at his father’s house

During the conversation, the Archbishop also reflected the loss of the Holy Father on Easter on Monday.

He said: “It was, of course,” for many people, a big surprise to see that Pope Francis was in Plaza de San Pedro blessing people on Easter, and that the next day, literally, I had literally taken, and I did not expect, gave it, gave it, gave it, gave it, gave it, and gave it, and gave it. Think of what the legacy that we have left in the past twelve years was.

Although this was not the first time that the funeral of the Pope lived, as he was present at the death of the last three compulsions, it was surprising that “each of them, in his own way, contributed to something very new and refreshing in the church” (…) “but the vision of Francisco, which was completely unique, and there was a very strong feeling of gratitude in many people.

Trust in God and let yourself guide Him

Monsignor Kennedy finally recalled that the morning of DDF officials returned to work, after the Easter failure, he spoke with one of the Franciscan at the Order of Monks Working with them.

“Since the founder of this priest was San Francisco, and while we were talking about Pope Francis, a story was shared when San Francisco himself was dying, and I think he told his watch that he did not run the race and ended the way, citing the beautiful words of Sant Paul, and that he had been done, and that he had not left any project to the Freitis.”

The Archbishop recalls that he did not leave you tangible details to continue in the coming years, but I mainly told you: ” Notice this, “It is similar to what we saw with Pope Francis.”
