Confessions in the open air (Marco Emanuele)

The image of Pope Francis who, as a priest among others, confesses the young people in St. Peter's Square, is, at the same time, simple and powerful.

Francis leaves the "sacred rooms" to enter in the only truly sacred room: the world-of-life. Francesco is always a man among men and he brings to all of us the message of the God of Love, of Mercy, of Proximity.

Francesco is the Pope of the "next door" but, behind that door, there is the world, there are all the different worlds; witness to the truth of reality, which transcends us as men among men, Francis teaches us that Love and Absolution go beyond our certainties. Francis is a "thorny" Pope, first of all for the "intellectuals" who do not understand it.

Francis embodies a substantial faith, in dialogue. He knows that the problem of the world is the inhuman triumphant that comes from our indifference, expression of the man who would be god and that, in this, forget the only God who lives in the happiness and sorrows of each other of us.
