Pope Francis warns society against reverting to individualism after the pandemic
CNN ^ | June 20, 2020 | Livia Borghese

Posted on 06/20/2020 11:55:58 AM PDT by BenLurkin

Francis made a statement from the Vatican on Sunday, praising healthcare workers in Italy's Lombardy region who stood by their patients during the pandemic's "troubled months."

Lombardy was Italy's worst-affected region at the height of the pandemic.

Francis later warned people to "be careful," and not to allow individualism to again become "the guiding principle of society."

Francis used the health care workers as an example to make his point, saying their professionalism was "one of the pillars of [Italy]." The Pope described the medical workers as "angels."

In April, he said the pandemic could be one of "nature's responses" to humans ignoring the current ecological crisis.

shut up fran.

If there was even an individualist, Jesus was Him.

Talk about going against the grain and the powers that be and a lot of the people where you live.

Jesus wanted to save people and he never lied to fit in or gain acceptance or be part of one great big society unit.

I think I’ll follow Jesus’ example over a communist’s

Bergoglio is a dime-a-dozen globalist.
…and that’s the best thing I have to say about him.

Sin is an individual responsibility. God calls us to repent first as individuals.

Pope Francis warns society against reverting to individualism after the pandemic

Yes, it is imperative that society remain collectivist!

In April, he said the pandemic could be one of "nature's responses" to humans ignoring the current ecological crisis.

Yes, the Great Goddess Mother Gaia is angry with her children!

Just to be clear: I, myself, do not advocate for collectivism or Earth-worship.

Regards,

At the core of Christian morality is individual conscience. Individuals are accountable for their actions. Counter cultural, brave alienation from the collective often defines the noble, heroic Christian.
