In a wide-ranging interview with Neapolitan newspaper, Pope Francis emphasizes once again the need to address the ongoing problems of war, pandemic, and poverty by working together for the common good. “Only by discovering what unites us, brothers and sisters, will we find the way out of the crisis we are going through, which did not begin today…”
Although the interview focused especially on issues facing Naples and southern Italy, Pope Francis made it clear that the problems they are facing “are global issues,” questions that “concern the future of the whole world.” “We have not awakened to wars and planetary injustice, we have not listened to the cry of the poor, and of our gravely ill planet.”Pope Francis insisted on the need to “change course,” saying we are all challenged to do so. Today, he said, “is a time of trial, a time of choice… It is time to reset the course.
In order to respond to these crises, the Pope said creativity directed to the common good is necessary, while repeating once again that the course we choose to pursue is important.Addressing the question of war, Pope Francis said that today we are measured by the war in Ukraine, but also by many other wars. He quoted St John Paul II, who, writing in the wake of the terrorist attack on 9/11, said that “the shattered order cannot be fully restored until justice and forgiveness are combined.
