| Description: |
Pope Francis is a popular global religious leader. Yet there is a dichotomy of opinions about him. Is it because he exercises his magisterial teaching office in a manner consistent with the famous injunction of St Francis of Assisi, "to preach the gospel always and, if necessary, use words", that he simultaneously comforts but challenges, clarifies and confuses, consoles yet confounds?
In the light of the lessons drawn from the nature, meaning, and functions of Israel's prophets, this tripartite work historically, pastorally, and theologically examines Francis' teaching, his visits, outreach to the poor, his preaching, and recent biblically based writings (Lumen Fidei, Evangelii Gaudium, Amoris Laetitia, Laudato Si', Gaudete et Exsultate, Letters, and Messages) as to whether, and how these have had any prophetic effects or impact on contemporary society. |
