Pope Francis will
demonstrate that the Catholic Church is concerned with the
problems of humanity, just like his predecessors John Paul II
and John XXIII, Vatican Secretary of State Pietro Parolin says
in a new book to be released on Thursday.
"Like those two great popes, Pope Francis will find the
right words to show that the Church is concerned not just with
its internal problems, but with those of humanity, and
particularly with those of that large part of humanity that is a
victim of violence and marginalisation," the cardinal says in
'The Popes of Peace' by ANSA journalists Nina Fabrizio and
Fausto Gasparroni.
"Once again he will demonstrate that the Church does not
move to protect its own rights or invoke privileges for itself,
but to defend the rights of every man and every woman,
especially when these have been violated," continues Parolin,
who replaced old-guard stalwart Tarcisio Bertone on January 15.
"I think this will have a positive resonance today as well,
in particular thanks to the direct and 'ordinary' language that
has been so successful so far," he concludes.
The book is being published ahead of the canonisation of
John Paul II and John XXIII in the Vatican on April 27.
