FOr Catholics who glued the Pope Francis inexorable to defending the dignity of migrants and minorities, the recordings of his deeply awkward meeting with JD Vanco on Easter Sunday he made a harassment. During their 12 years on the chair of St. Petra, Francis is against Christian complicity with “America first” “first” “TPPs of Nationalist movements. Here, that the Eve of his death was, was the white house of the politics he spent so much energy against.
What now? The Pope “from the ends of the country” will be laid to rest on Saturday in a disordered cemetery in Rome’s Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore, after the funeral attended about 50 heads and 130 delegations from all over the world. The front in the interior and outside the church will hope that the meeting with the U.S. vice president would be an ominous move.
The antipathy He showed American Catholic Conservatives towards Francis were virulent, extreme and, nearby, close to Shishum. Arch-traditionalists and historical antagonists like a religious fans Donald Trump, Cardinal Raymond Burke, will see the papula as an opportunity for the phase fully full of anti-revolution in the Vatican. How Vance and Maga Maga, other blurred Catholic blower, Steve BannonI’d like that.
After a decade, in which the secular Western policy continuously diverged to the authoritarian right, it could now take the religious version of the same route, rolling back Franciscan reforms such as the introduction of blessings for the same sex couples? The answer is probably not. But that is not in no way for sure that Francis’s progressive legacy is fully safe.
To promote the external spirit of his paption, and reflects his belief that the global south should carry a greater weight and influence in the Catholicism of 21. century, first Latin American Pope insured That the cardinals will choose their successor to be the most diverse group in the history of the Church. The 108 new meeting record included red hats for bishops and archbishops in 25 countries that have never been praised by cardinal.
Many are relative newly formed from Africa and Asia an unknown quantity in Rome, and each other. Some beats from the bishop sees which are good of the beaten path within their own countries. This influx from what Francis called “Perifers” will always do unpredictable voting process still unreadable. But this is also a significant praise of church forces distance from the rich west.
Such rebalancing does not necessarily translate to automatic reinforcement for progressive forces in the CONKLABA. On issues related to sexuality, “gender ideology”, abortion and family, many African and Asian preles have a common common with “Illberally Christianity“From Viktor Orbán’s Hungary. There may be some interesting coalition building that will come between the churches of the global south, and the conservative Catholic representatives of post-communist central Europe.
Anti-Francis Theological Hardlioni could benefit from it. But the globally representative voter field means that it will become “papabile”, the candidate will surely need to share the focus of the deceased pope on global inequality, the rights of the poorest nations and emergency. The less Western conclusion should equally guarantee constant empathy with the fate of millions of migrants in the movement, in the world stronger and sharp limits.
In the medium term, Francis’ empowerment of Laia and the permanent church will also complicate any help in the future restoration. The “Synod to the synodality“He was burdened by a terrible name, and Catholics Liberally clarify on issues such as female considering, together – Francis cunning in the heart of Catholicism. That moment it will be difficult for a new pope and speeds up.
Truths, for all premature speculations over the papal runners and riders, the future after Francis can only be looked through the glass. In the novel Robert Harris, the terrorist attack in Rome sets a phase of a defined choice between the Trumpage cardinal eager to return to Islam, and the Rival Suppers of Global South, which will eventually choose the paper name innocent. The prospects for a similar clean and satisfactory narrative that take place in May, as an unusual great gathering of 135 cardinal electrical power plants, think of their options, is remotely.
Against the background, but a transformed influence of the Second Trump Presidency, the moral role for the world’s largest Christian church are terribly high. Francis was a fierce critic of the global economic culture that legitimated the restless, amoral requesting the capital of profit, because he tried to undermine every human, ecological and territorial boundary of his ambition. His papery “peripherals” was partly dedicated to the champion of the interests of those forgotten and leave such a model.
But in the middle of an ethnocentric, the nationalist background to globalization, which was often associated with the false Christian heritage defense, is also called to defend the suddenly endangered postwar architecture of international law and universal human rights. As a new authoritarian era is obviously shaped, in which raw power is allowed to undermine democratic and legal norms, late Papeni Biograph, Austen Ivereigh, Austen Ivereigh, In comparison of challenges His successor will face those who turned to Pius XI 100 years ago.
Francis’s hose response to the growing crisis was to first ghost and catholication ethics, in the broadest sense of that word. This radical pastoral approach was incapped in his repeated insistence that the church she led to open “Everything, all, all“But that missional advocacy was applied to the world’s world. In February, it formed a substance of its outstanding indirect rebuke of Vance, after having a temperature doctrine for love as a justification for the Summary of deportation and reduction of American international assistance.
In his corrusking letter On American bishops, which would become the last major intervention of his paption, Francis wrote: “What was built on the basis of force, not the truth about the equal dignity of every human being, begins badly and will be done badly.” This act of the witness should be the starting point of the next pontificate, if the Catholic Church fulfills its right title in Trump.
