Centring the voiceless: Pope Francis’s enduring global impact | Religion

According to Father Gabriel Romane, the priest of the Church of the Holy Family in Gaza, Pope Francis has long been inspecting the people of Gaza even from his bed in the hospital in Rome, where he has been receiving treatment for pneumonia since since then February 14.
In an interview with the Vatican official information platform, Vatican News, Romanlli said that Francis maintained almost daily contact with his church for 15 months of massacres, violence, fear and hunger in Gaza and continued to make calls to the parish while entering the hospital. Romanlli said: “We asked how we were doing, how the situation was, and sent a blessing for us.”
As it becomes clear from his association with the people of Gaza, Francis believes that those who suffer and who live in the existential peripheral of life reflect the true face of God. It is his conviction that the logic of love and life is better understood by reforming the perception of the poor and forgetting society.
As such, many Catholics and countless men and women of goodwill around the world pray for the rapid recovery of the Pope and return to its mission. They pray because they know that our world can only overcome Polycrisis, which he faces today under the supervision of leaders like him – the leaders who move him with deep anxiety for those who suffer from war, poverty and injustice; Leaders who want to enhance our common humanity to counter the dangerous ascension in the loyalty, fever and narrow nationalism.
Francis has shown his unbearable commitment to encouraging coexistence and facing global injustice several times in the past decade.
In February 2019, for example, Abu Dhabi’s declaration was about “human brotherhood for world peace and living together” alongside the great imam of Al -Azhar Ahmed Al -Tayeb.
The widespread document, in the realization of all human beings as brothers and sisters, is a guide for future generations to enhance the culture of mutual respect. It calls for “a culture of tolerance and living together in peace” in the name of “all good people who offer every part of the world”, but in particular “orphans, widows and refugees, from their exile from their homes and countries; victims of wars, persecution and injustice; those who live in fear and prisoners War and those who are tortured. “
After the Abu Dhabi Document, the Covid-19 Web came, which once again clarified how all human beings are held together in a common fate. The people together gathered together in the common suffering, as he worked to enhance Francis’s commitment to publishing his message about our common humanity.
As Francis explained in the Broadcasting Encyclopedia, Fratelli Totti, the epidemic has proven that the global economy is not infallible and that the future of the world cannot depend on the economic Orthodoxes dictated by the market freedom. On the contrary, it is suggested that a “sound political life that is not subject to funding” is required. He suggested that there is a need, to dismantle the structures of injustice and explosion in a new moral urgency “stems from the inclusion of what was excluded in building a common destiny” and respect for the dignity and rights of all people everywhere in a world.
However, the world failed to pay attention to Francis’ warning and unfortunately learned a little Covid-19 disaster. In fact, the social, political and economic conditions of many worse after the epidemic. Instead of deeper understanding and greater appreciation for our common humanity and our common destiny, what came to determine the world of postpartum was more violence, war, nationalism and intolerance. Since the epidemic, social hierarchical serials have become more solid, more narrow identities, and a actually dysfunctional global system that is more inclined to divide fuel, injustice, poverty and tensions between states and peoples.
Francis has repeatedly explained in the past few years how the postpartum world has lived through the “Third War War, gradually subject” to the culture of indifference. People often called for crying in the face of innocent killings that have no meaning as he once did during his attractiveness to end the war in Ukraine. He cried again on the beaches of Lambidosa, Italy, where many people drowned wars and poverty. As the head of the Catholic Church since 2013, Francis has tirelessly expressed his conviction that we are all the sons of God and that every life must be valuable instead of price.
These days, he sends this message again through his daily phone calls to Gaza. These calls, which lasted even from the hospital, are a work of solidarity with the masses of Gaza, fear and hungry, but also an attempt to remind the world of the plight of people in the existential parties.
This same desire to put people with the consequences of war in the global interest center prompted Francis to take dangerous trips in 2023 to the Democratic Republic More than a decade.
In his autobiography, which was released in January, Francis expresses the reason for being affected by the suffering of war victims, refugees and migrants. He tells the story of his family, which is characterized by wars, exile, immigration, deaths and losses that forced them to take a risky trip from Italy to Argentina. He explains that this experience of the margin and accuracy has formed his life in his commitment to putting the pain of people with wars and the pain of migrants in the middle of the papacy.
Francis also condemned the world forces. This is because, in many of the Karel wars he used in office to light, from Gaza and Ukraine to Sudan and the Congo, he realized that the countries send humanitarian relief to the victims of the war are the same countries that their weapons used to kill, distort the same victims and destroy their societies in the first place. Moreover, the countries that provide these weapons are often the ones that refuse to welcome refugees in the war.
Today, the world needs to lead Francis, the message of peace, brotherhood and solidarity more than ever. The world is in a crisis from which it can only come out through the typical transformation from violence to non -violent ways to heal relationships, build confidence and address historical injustice. Francis has always been a directive light for those who pushing for this typical transformation that is intense because he was always consistent in his message that faith and violence are incompatible and that war is always a defeat for humanity.
These days, there are many forces all over the world that pay more war, division, confrontation and injustice. During the same week in which Francis sent his blessing to the people of Gaza from his bed in the hospital in Rome, for example, US President Donald Trump was still enthusiastically promoting his great plan for their homeland, which includes their expulsion.
While Francis was sending a message of hope to those who were suffering and praying for their recovery, Trump and the same were working to enhance the structure of violence and want the victims of war and the poor to disappear simply.
At the end of the day, the most urgent question of our time is how we as human beings deal with our human colleagues. We can either choose their treatment as people with equal or non -buses due to their race, culture, social location or religion. As the philosopher Judith Butler explained, there are many victims of violence today who are considered “inappropriate” because the society in it has placed them as consuming. When even one person is framed in this way in a society, this society loses his recognition that every life is important. As a result, instead of seeing the victims of war and repression “our common state of escape”, people, according to Petler, begin to throw the lives of those who belong to some of the targeted population as “not completely life.” “When such souls are lost,” Bater writes, “They are not banned, because, in the twisted logic that justifies their death, the loss of these population is necessary to protect the life of” living “.
In a world in which he considered many lives, including those in Gaza, “unreasonable” by many in our societies, Francis is a light lighthouse to remind us of our common humanity and our common destiny. Nobody knows how much time he left on this earth, but it is clear that his legacy is to seek the poor, weakness, need and yearning for peace, brotherhood and coexistence in the face of deep divisions and increasing violence will definitely excel for him.
