Pope Francis: “Jesus is our humanism. Let us always be unsettled by his question: “who do you say that I am?” (Mt 16:15).
On Questioning “trust in structures, in organizations, in planning that is perfect…(a trust) which often gives one the security of feeling superior…”
On the Church: “May she be a free Church, open to the challenges of the present, never on the defensive out of fear of losing something.”
On “trusting in logical and clear reasoning, which nonetheless loses the tenderness of (humanity).”
On the attraction of... “a purely subjective faith whose only interest is…to console and enlighten, but which ultimately keeps one imprisoned in his or her own thoughts and feelings” (Evangelii Gaudium, n. 94).
What is the Pope asking of us?
“It is up to you to decide: people and pastors together”…to look to Jesus together to discover what it means to be human.
