Pope Francis has arrived!
A sea of jubilant love fest crowds, wave yellow flags as the pontiff in his white cassock and skullcap crisscrossed around Washington. He re-establishes an imagination among the American secular community by travelling around in a Fiat 500 to his commitment of fighting for the poor.
His humble style has positioned him as adherent to the church teachings, as he tries enlist new devotees who have been lost with religious liberty in the US. His humility and simplicity focused on the urgency of climate change. It cannot just be left to the future generations to take care off. It is already a critical moment of history, he mentions.
The Pope’s openness also expressed there are challenges within the church “The evil one, roars like a lion, anxious to devour.” It was his words of encouragement and courage to the 300 bishops. In handling the diversity of the parishioners traditional moral social issues from abortion to homosexuality, or to the sacrifice of self-criticism of church sexual abuse scandal, which drew a mix reaction as the pope tried not to judge but outline the church message was meant for the parishioners to heal.
The Pope re-iterated that he is a son of an immigrant. He himself witnessed the first-hand concerns of human relationship of building a home. In which he encourage the need to commit a conscious and responsible care of relationship with nature, common home.
