A Culture of Care – Pope Francis

April 27, 2025

It is now evident that good politics cannot come from the culture of power understood as domination and oppression, but only from a culture of care, care for the person and his or her dignity, and care for our common home. — Against War: Building A Culture of Peace, p. 11

    I adored Francis’s way, as did so many. But is there not a fascinating paradox, while faulting government, using the phrase “culture of power” … “domination” when this idea is being floated by the leader of the all-powerful catholic church?

    I surmise that Francis’s most glorious, soulful intent was in conflict with papal environs, from start to finish.

      It is a fascinating paradox. I also believe that he tried his best as an imperfect human to live differently and as you said, in conflict with papal environs.

    He was such an amazing Pope. I miss him so much.
