With this week's 10-year anniversary of Pope Francis' election as Pope, Cardinal Kevin Farrell, Prefect of the Vatican's Dicastery for Laity, Family and Life, says the Pope's greatest achievement"has been to show us how to live the Gospel of Jesus Christ." The Irish-born American Cardinal Prefect made this observation as he sat down with Vatican News for this interview ahead of the anniversary.
I believe that Pope Francis saw as his mission to continue the Second Vatican Council, the Council that called the laity to be an active, not only 'participant,' but 'member,' with all the rights due to baptism, that every person in the Church has. That was not so well known. Very seldom did theologians speak about the rights invested in all people who are baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. I think he has done tremendously.
Pope Francis always speaks about Jesus Christ. To me, the uniqueness of Pope Francis is he's in touch with the people and, when Pope Francis, he wants to teach us what how to put into practice what we learn from the doctrine of John Paul II and from Benedict's emphasis on the theology of encounter with Jesus Christ. What Pope Francis is doing is showing us how to put that into practice each and every day. That how how close he is to people.
Pope Francis repeatedly notes the importance of protecting life from conception until natural death, constantly reminding the great value of elderly and grandparents. What message during these years, have you found to be most profound on these themes?
