This comprehensive perspective, according to the spokesman, will allow the Pope to address crucial issues such as wars , hunger and migration with property.
Gradual approach of sensitive themes
Rodrigues anticipated that while the Pope is adopting a milder posture initially, the moment will come when he will address sensitive themes with more strength and property.
“It will be a pope who, now at first, is milder, but there will be the moment he will surely touch these themes with much more ownership and strength,” he said.

This amplitude of the migratory challenge will certainly influence the pontiff’s performance in this area.
