The Holy Father named Cardinal Stephen Chow Sau-yan, S.J., bishop of Hong Kong, China, for the Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue and Cardinal Sebastian Francis, bishop of Penang, Malaysia, for Promoting Integral Human Development.
Pope Francis has published an Apostolic Exhortation building on his 2015 encyclical. “We’re not reacting enough,” he says, “we’re close to breaking point,” according to Vatican News.
Despite facing rejection, Jesus does not allow Himself “to be imprisoned by disappointment,” but instead looks to the Father, remaining “serene even in the storm,” the Pope said.
“Artificial intelligence and wisdom of the heart: for a fully human communication” is the theme chosen by Pope Francis for the 58th World Communication Day, which will be observed in 2024, according to Vatican News.
The report explored religious and ethnic identity and attitudes towards other religions; and different patterns of religious belief and practice across religious communities and countries.
They live out the core values of “Service that builds, Social Justice that empowers, Spirituality that loves, Simplicity that frees, Solidarity that unites.”
According to Vatican News, they “lived the daily life of an unassuming Catholic family, content with their lot. No one would have guessed that the life of this man, who prayed, worked and raised his children just like so many other husbands and fathers, would take an entirely unexpected turn.”
