Pope Francis Who is he?

March 14, 2013

Jesuit Spirituality of St. Ignatius Loyola Finding God in All Things Discernment of Spirits The work of justice

Latin American Third World Poverty Liberation Theology

Pastor With/among real people Connecting life and faith regularly Pastoral vs. administrative, academic, juridical

The name “Don’t forget the poor!” Poor Peace Creation

Style of Pastoral Leadership Simplicity Humility Collaborative Lead with mercy/ “mercy-ing”

Communication Simple, direct colloquial language Responds to questions people are actually asking Sparks human imagination and sensitivity through figurative language “media is the message”: “Preach the Gospel always; when necessary use words!”

PROPHET Not dismissing the old, but reveals what the Tradition has been saying all along Comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable Engaged with the world, its people, its culture Witness: “when necessary, use words.”

“New Evangelization” Offers us a whole new way of seeing ancient teaching New in ardor, method & expression Modest about what he knows

Principles for the Work of Justice Direct, urgent, passionate/ very real and intensely human Primacy of care for the poor: “a poor church, for the poor.” Human Rights: “great inequalities violate most basic rights” Primacy of Mercy: Church as “a field hospital after battle” Solidarity: “I cannot live without people.”

Dignity of all persons; “new balance” for Catholic teaching on dignity of all persons Condemns “savage capitalism” and Communism “with equal vigor” Immigrants: Lampedusa, Roman Center for Immigrants Peace: Vigil for peace in Syria: 100,000!

Unique Moment/New Momentum The Gospel message and the messenger What he does and how he does it What he says and how he says it

A NEW WAY OF BEING CHURCH

“The first reform must be the attitude.” Experiencing the healing gaze of Jesus Offering that same healing gaze to others Discernment: taking time to think, pray, consult From monarchy to collegiality

The Inspirer-in-Chief

Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World “The joys and the hopes, the griefs and the anxieties of the people of this age, especially those who are poor or in any way afflicted, these too are the joys and hopes, the griefs and the anxieties of the followers of Christ. Indeed nothing genuinely human fails to raise an echo in their hearts.”

“For theirs is a community composed of men and women. United in Christ, they are led by the Holy Spirit in their journey to the kingdom of their Father. And they have welcomed the news of salvation which is meant for every person. That is why this community realizes that it is truly and intimately linked with the humanity and its history.”

“Inspired by no earthly ambition, the Church seeks but a solitary goal: to carry forward the work of Christ Himself under the lead of the befriending Spirit. And Christ entered this world to give witness to the truth, to rescue and not to sit in judgment, to serve and not to be served.”

CAVEAT Personality Cult about Pope Francis Call to transformation and conversion of the Church Are you/we ready for what that entails? Something has to die for it to happen.

Where will he/it lead us?
