Pope on New Yr.: Be Positive Despite Pandemic; We Must See Church as the Good That Unites Us

 In his New Year's wishes to the world, Pope Francis yesterday encouraged people to focus on the good which unites them and decried violence against women while acknowledging that the coronavirus pandemic has left many scared and struggling amid economic inequality, the AP website reports today (January 2, 2022).


"We are still living in uncertain and difficult times due to the pandemic," Francis said. "Many are frightened about the future and burdened by social problems, personal problems, dangers stemming from the ecological crisis, injustices, and by global economic imbalances."


Francis aldo championed embracing a positive attitude, "one that always sees, in the Church as well as in society, not the evil which divides us, but the good that unites us."
