Teachings of the Pope

A Catholic perspective on current events

Lights for the Synod on Synodality

We refer, in their unity, to three interventions of Pope Francis in relation to the beginning of the "synod on synodality": his address to the faithful in Rome (September 18), his reflection at the beginning of the synodal process (October 9) and his homily at the opening celebration of the synod (October 10).

Generosity and freedom, fidelity and audacity: in Hungary and Slovakia

We focus on three interventions of the Pope during his apostolic journey to Hungary and Slovakia: his homily at the closing of the 52nd International Eucharistic Congress in Budapest, the meeting with pastors and educators in Bratislava and the dialogue with young people in Košice (Slovakia).

Christian attitudes, the Gospel and the commandments: on the Pope's catechesis on the Letter to the Galatians

Seen in context, the Pope's teaching at the Wednesday audiences on St. Paul's Letter to the Galatians is a good explanation of the relationship between Jesus Christ and his Gospel, the law and the commandments.

The Pope in May. Communicators of the truth and transmitters of the faith.

In the teachings of Francis during the month of May, we highlight his message for the 55th World Communications Day and the institution of the ministry of catechists, true communicators and transmitters of the faith.

The Pope in March. Letting oneself be resurrected to be a witness of mercy

April began during Holy Week. It moved forward in awe, between the cross and the resurrection. Amazement before the Lord's surrender, the strength of his life now with us, and his mercy, which is poured out through his wounds, always open for us for all.
