Rome., ‘ BRATISLAVA. The photo has become one of the best known in Slovakia. Pope Francis Schuti laughs in a conversation with a smiling president Zuzana Čaputová During her audience in the Vatican in December 2020.

« You invited me to Slovakia, so I came, » he tells her nine months later, when in September 2021 lands at Bratislava airport. What failed to do the former President of Parliament Petr Pellegrini Not even the ex -president Andrej Kiska Or even the conference of bishops of Slovakia, Čaputová proved.

Liberal, which in 2019 told Trnava Archbishop Ján Orosch that voting is a serious sin.

« He was intrigued by his appearance and the impression of him also interviewed her during the audience in the Vatican, » the Pope’s enchantment commented on the President in September 2021 by a long -time Christian Democratic politician František Mikloško.

The women had in Františkov Life always an important role. It was he who was the first of the Popes to allow high functions in the Catholic Church. On the feast of the Three Kings in 2025, he appointed the religious sister of Simon Simona Brambil for the prefect of the dicaster for the consecrated life and society of apostolic life.

Prefect is at the Catholic Church at the level of the Minister. It was an unprecedented thing in the history of the Church.

LGBTI was held by people, refugees, and allowed the divorced and re -married to go to communion. Another thing that has been unthinkable in the Catholic Church for centuries.

Not only believers of Francis also loved for his informalness. When he became a Pope in 2013, present at the Square of St. Petra greeted the Vatican instead of a Catholic greeting simply a good evening. Just as they listened to the television newspaper every night.

« As soon as he joined the Papal Sea, he addressed more those who are distant than those in the Church at home, » said Marián Prachar, pastor in Rusovce, Bratislava in 2017.

However, its openness to the world did not like the conservative wing in the Catholic Church, so he was also one of the popes who polarized it most. Openly against him, several high ecclesiasticals have spoken. Some of them have deprived the office or benefits.

The resistance against it was formed especially in the ultra -conservative circles of the Catholic Church in the US. In Slovakia, this wing was the closest mentioned Orosch.

In 2019 he received one of Francis’ greatest critics of American Cardinal Raynold Burk.

As he lived openly and informal, this first South American Pope died. Recently he has suffered from serious health problems, he has been in the hospital for more than a month. On Sunday he greeted the believers at the sermon Urbi et Orbi, on Monday his death was confirmed by Cardinal Kevin Ferrell.

During his life, the Pope expressed his request not to be buried in the bowels of the Basilica of Sts. Peter in the Vatican like most popes, but in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome. In the temple, which always had a great respect for the Jesuits, which was also Francis.

For centuries, this religious order had an image of intellectuals in the Catholic Church. Jorge Mario Bergoglioas the Pope, the descendant of Italian immigrants from Argentina, called his own name, was the first Jesuit to sit on the table of St. Peter in the Vatican.

In the name of hope and empathy

« I would like to tell the readers one thing. Never lose hope! Not even if you happen to bad things, even if the experience you had with a man or woman from the Catholic Church wasn’t the best, don’t be influenced by it. On the occasion of its tenth anniversary on the Papal See.

Humanity and empathy has characterized Pope Bergoglia since the beginning of his work in the Vatican.

« Do not worry about good, nor to be nice, » he said at the end of the sermon during his inauguration for the Pope on March 19, 2013.
