Notizie.it editorial team A meeting with the people
The recent funeral ceremony of Pope Francis highlighted not only the figure of the Pontiff, but also the deep bond he was able to establish with ordinary people. Fausto Bertinotti, former president of the Chamber, emphasized how the crowd present represented a moment of great humanity and participation.
This event demonstrated that the Pope was not only a religious leader, but a symbol of hope and commitment in a world marked by conflict and division.
The message of peace
In his work, Pope Francis has always sought to promote a message of peace, addressing sensitive issues such as war and social justice. Bertinotti highlighted how the Pontiff has managed to resist the pressures of time, maintaining a language that spoke directly to the hearts of people. His ability to communicate universal values has made his message accessible to everyone, regardless of personal beliefs.
A pontiff for all
Contrary to what some might think, Bertinotti has made it clear that Pope Francis cannot be labeled a left-wing Pope. His action has been guided by the Gospel and the search for a better world, rather than by political ideologies. This approach has allowed many, even those who feel orphaned by a traditional left, to find refuge and guidance in the Pope's words. His famous exhortation to priests to "be shepherds with the smell of the sheep" represents an invitation to remain close to the people, a principle that should also apply to politics.
