In the presence of the prime minister of Spain, Pedro S\u00e1nchez, the pope improvised an elaborate speech on the meaning of politics.<\/p>\n
He said a politician must worry not only about improving the country. He said a politician must also learn to dialogue with localisms and develop institutions. He called this \u201cstrengthening a nation.\u201d<\/p>\n
POPE FRANCIS<\/strong> The pope said a politician must also build the homeland, the most complicated task of all. He explained that it wouldn't be supporting a \u201ctraditionalist fantasy,\u201d but rather discerning what is most convenient in each moment. Pope Francis said one must be free of ideologies in order to accomplish this.<\/p>\n POPE FRANCIS<\/strong> The pope recommended to Pedro S\u00e1nchez a book written by an Italian communist, which explains how the Nazi ideology used the crisis to impose their vision in Germany in the 1930s.<\/p>\n Pope Francis has always said politics is one of the highest forms of charity, but that he as pontiff had never, until now, fully developed his thoughts on the matter.<\/p>\n Javier Romero<\/p>\n Translation: CT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" October 26, 2020.

\n\u201cMaking a country progress seems easy, but it's not. It continuously involves international relations, commercial, scientific, technical ties, everything... Strengthening a nation sometimes presents difficulties understanding localisms. Every country has them, no?... dialects. However, there are also difficulties understanding rights, justice, but to make the nation stronger each time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\n\u201cIdeologies breed sectarianism. Ideologies deconstruct the homeland; they don't build it. That's what we must learn from history.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
