Pope Francis was in favor of communicating according to linguistic, social and cultural changes

Pope Francis, in a speech he offered to the formators of the archdiocesan seminary of Milan, asked them to question “How is it possible to communicate the truths of the faith today, taking into account linguistic, social and cultural changes”. “Let’s be careful not to fall into self-referentiality,” she asked.

The Pope, who did not choose to talk because reading speeches “is boring”, stressed that “all men have the right to receive the Gospel and Christians have a duty to announce it without excluding anyone,” according to Vatican News.

Neither the Church nor the world needs a desk theologybut a reflection capable of accompanying cultural and social processes, especially difficult transitions, also taking charge of conflicts”, Francis underlined and asked formators to beware “of a theology that is exhausted in academic dispute or that looks to the humanity from a glass castle”.

Pope Francis, who was once again in a wheelchair due to knee problems, had to suspend apostolic trips precisely because of his health condition. Instead, he has concentrated his activities with strong political definitions in the Vatican.

A few days ago, an interview was broadcast with the Jesuit media in which he focused his comments on the war in Ukraine, warning that it is a conflict that could be “provoked or not prevented.”

“But the danger is that we only see that, which is monstrous, without seeing all the drama that is played out behind this war, which may have been, in some way, provoked or not prevented,” Francisco clarified before condemning the industry of armament. “Note the interest in the testing and sale of weapons. It is very sad, but in the end it is what is at stake,” he stressed.
