Pope Francis sends a message to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Corriere dello Sport-Stadio, and challenges the Italian newspaper to report on the victories and defeats of athletes as “a way of thinking and living sport as a hymn to life.”By Kielce Gussie, on October 20, Pope Francis celebrated the news outlet's work, saying, “You have run a beauitful race over these hundred years.”The Pope reflected on his own memories of playing football as a child in Argentina.
Pope Francis used the example of a Salesian priest in Argentina, Fr. Lorenzo Massa, who opened the doors of the parish oratory to boys to play soccer.He then explained how important it is to have “adults who genuinely welcome children and young people, who listen to their dreams and wish for a better future alongside them.”Sports make people as one, Pope Francis said, walking “united, feeling part of one single family and a family of nations,” even in the midst of conflict and violence.
The Pope also pointed out the newspaper’s role in reporting on the victories and defeats of athletes as “a way of thinking and living sport as a hymn to life.”
