  • A Compilation of Quotes and Texts of Pope Francis on Dialogue, Encounter, and Interrelgious and Ecumencial Relations
    A COMPILATION OF QUOTES AND TEXTS OF POPE FRANCIS ON DIALOGUE, ENCOUNTER, AND INTERRELGIOUS AND ECUMENCIAL RELATIONS “Dialogue is born from an attitude of respect for the other person, from a conviction that the other person has something good to say. It assumes that there is room in the heart for the person’s point of view, opinion, and proposal. To dialogue entails a cordial reception, not a prior condemnation. In order to dialogue, it is necessary to know how to lower the defenses, open the doors of the house, and offer human warmth.” On Heaven and Earth, Sudamericana, 2011 ___________________ “The question of humility. It pleases me also to use the word ‘meekness,’ which does not mean weakness. A religious leader can be very strong, very firm without exercising aggression. Jesus says that the one who leads must be one who serves. For me, this idea is valid for the religious person of whatever religious confession. Service confers the real power of religious leadership.” - On Heaven and Earth, Sudamericana, 2011 ___________________ “I very much hope to be able to contribute to the progress that relations between Jews and Catholics have experienced since the Second Vatican Council, in a spirit of renewed collaboration and at the service of a world that can be ever more harmonious with the will of the Creator." - Letter of Pope Francis to Rome's Chief Rabbi, Riccardo Di Segni inviting him to the inauguration Mass ________________ “In this work (peace building), the role of religion is fundamental. It is not possible to build bridges between people while forgetting God.

Politiikan tutkimuksen tutkinto-ohjelma / Kansainvälisen politiikan opintosuunta Kesäkuu 2017 Maaliskuussa 2013 roomalaiskatolisen kirkon johtoon valittiin ensimmäistä kertaa ei-eurooppalainen paavi 1600 vuoteen. Samaan aikaan katolinen kirkko eli kriisien aikaa ja paavien merkityksen kan- sainvälisessä politiikassa ajateltiin vähentyneen merkittävästi. Kuitenkin heti valintansa jälkeen ar- gentiinalainen Jorge Mario Bergoglio osoitti uuden aikakauden alkaneen globaalin katolisen kirkon johdossa. Paavinimen Franciscus hän otti Franciscus Assisilaisen mukaan ja asemoi itsensä samalla nöyräksi köyhien auttajaksi. Uskonnollinen johtajuus oli saanut uuden merkityksen. Kansainvälisessä politiikassa paavien roolia ei ole juurikaan tutkittu. Tässä tutkimuksessa otan tar- kastelun kohteeksi paavi Franciscuksen poliittisena toimijana. Tutkimuskysymyksenäni on se, kuinka relevantti rauhanpoliittinen toimija paavi Franciscus kansainvälisessä politiikassa on? Tarkentavina kysymyksinä tutkimuksessa ovat seuraavat kaksi kysymystä: 1) minkälaista rauhanpoliittista mallia Franciscus tarjoaa sovellettavaksi kansainvälisessä

  • Pope Francis and Ecumenism
    Marquette University e-Publications@Marquette Theology Faculty Research and Publications Theology, Department of 2018 Pope Francis and Ecumenism Susan K. Wood Follow this and additional works at: https://epublications.marquette.edu/theo_fac Part of the Religious Thought, Theology and Philosophy of Religion Commons 3 ONE IN CHRIST VOL. 52 NO. 1 POPE FRANCIS AND ECUMENISM Susan K. Wood* The author shows how Pope Francis is a force for ecumenical unity with his charismatic approach and his emphasis on the fundamental of the Christian faith: ‘One Lord, one faith…’. In a first part, she presents the major themes pertaining to ecumenism such as dialogue, encounter, reconciled diversity, journey, ecumenism of blood, founding all these aspects on a personal relationship with Christ in prayer. In a second part she recalls spectacular ecumenical gestures of Pope Francis pointing out how he was already involved as Archbishop of Buenos Aires in a dialogue based on friendship, personal encounters and how he favours the role of discernment and personal responsibility in a very Ignatian way. Although Pope Francis has written little on ecumenism, he has made some spectacular ecumenical gestures. In the first part of this presentation I will present the themes in Pope Francis’ writing that pertain to ecumenism. In the second part, I will describe some of his spectacular ecumenical gestures. While Pope Francis has cultivated relationships with the Orthodox, celebrating an ecumenical service with Orthodox churches in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem in 2014 and meeting with Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill in Havana, Cuba on February 12, 2016, since 2017 was the five hundredth centenary of the Reformation, I will focus my attention on his spectacular ecumenical gestures to Evangelicals, Pentecostals, and Lutherans.

The first resemblance is their age when elected, 76. Roncalli’s advanced years were because his electors wanted a short term compromise candidate. He turned 77 less than a month after his election. He reigned less than five years before succumbing to stomach cancer, but the much beloved leader of the Church had an unquestionably enormous impact on the lives of Catholics and, as I shall suggest, the whole world. Three months after his election, he stunned the cardinals who had elected him (and everyone else too), by announcing his intention to summon an ecumenical council of the Catholic Church. Only 20 such general councils had met previously, beginning in the fourth century with Nicaea. Pope John’s Second Vatican Council renewed the Catholic Church and redirected Catholics, especially towards social justice and dialogue.
