Presentation
From the first moments of his election, I was touched by the “scent of the Gospel” that emanates from Francis. This pope speaks to the heart and touches many people – believers or unbelievers – because he lives what he says and testifies to the essential values of Jesus' message: love, simplicity, humility, detachment, joy. It intends above all to promote a new state of mind so that the Church rediscovers its first reason for being: to bear witness, following Christ, that God is not a judge, but a liberator, that the love which redress is more important than the law which condemns, that the Gospel is a message of life which humanizes. This is also the reason why he is concerned about the common good of humanity and provides strong and enlightening words on major global issues: the financialization of the economy, social injustices, the environmental crisis.
