Pro Pope Francis

He has brought fresh air into the Roman Catholic Church: the Bishop of Rome, who came from far away, as he himself said in his first speech from the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica. He boldly continues the Council. He is reforming the Curia. He sees the work of the Spirit of God not only in Rome but across all continents. Therefore, he constantly references regional bishops' conferences. He also listens to those affected, such as those who have remarried after the end of a marriage and wish to shape their lives in accordance with the Gospel. This new pastoral culture has brought the Pope resistance. A handful of cardinals want to clarify whether he might even be a heretic. Tomáš Halík from Prague and Paul M. Zulehner from Vienna have called for support for the Pope and his direction for the Church. 75,000 people from around the world have backed the Open Letter. Over 5,000 people participated in an online survey. Contributions from theologians from all over the world have also come in, encouraging the Pope with their expertise. He is to continue following his dream of a Church as a mother and shepherd. The support initiative Pro Pope Francis is fully documented in this highly relevant book.
