FREE Catholic Classes
Pope Francis is trying to reform the way the Catholic Church tackles current issues affecting the lives of people around the world. According to a WorldPost blog by Sebastien Maillard, titled "Following Francis," Pope Francis, uses a variety of words when speaking about pressing issues, like social injustice and the environment, aside from motivating his colleagues to address all types of family matters.

MUNTINLUPA, PHILIPPINES (Catholic Online) - As one of the religion's most popular leaders, Pope Francis is speaking loud to reach everyone on every important subject to consider.
The Holy See spoke about the "Third World War," but this war is not in terms of likelihood to its epistemological predecessors. He is referring about the internal conflicts happening in many places like Syria, Ukraine and Iraq, which, when collected, is amounting to the destruction of human potential. The Pope could be exaggerating by using the term destruction, but it is his way of highlighting existing conditions of life on Earth.
During a commemorative mass in St. Peter's Basilica for the Armenian genocide centenary, the Pontiff used the term "genocide" for the same motive, which he means to use to address the extreme violence targeting certain groups including Christians being persecuted in different parts of the world today.
In his to-be-published encyclical, the author was informed of the encyclical dedication to "human ecology" which will encompass matters, such as the effects of environmental degradation to the fight against hunger and poverty, as well as those who are marginalized.
But Pope Francis does not have the grand solution to eradicate all these problems nor how to stop a "Third World War" from happening. What he wants is for the Catholic Church to be more "credible" in stepping up "to help find answers" for the pressing human struggles.
