ángel fenández artime, Cardinal: “The church that does not dialogue with the world will be uncomfortable.”
This is the Slesian Luanquín (1960), based in Rome, Angel Fernandez Artemi, which was made by Pope Francis Cardinal does not give the roundabout to live … This is the coming. But he feels passionately as a participant in the historical event, which includes choosing who takes over the position of Pope Francis. However, it is clear that it will not be chosen. In Asturias, he acquired the death of the Pope, but on Saturday it will be in the Vatican to say goodbye, then occupy his place in the Sistine Church and wait for the white laxate.
How does this process live in the whole?
– During the recovery period of the Holy Father, he was very sensitive and very dangerous, but it seemed to refresh and the reality now was that he was completely unexpected for me. I lived on Easter days in Rome, and I saw the moments in which he appeared in public places and his death was an effect. Nobody can imagine it. But to what extent, Easter day, in Argentina, ended on Sunday an hour ago, and I was able to say goodbye to the people of God, to be able to appear in the Plaza de San Pedro! There are many special items that I think are well associated with Pope Francis.
– Francisco has passed the religious to become the icon of peace and tolerance. It exceeds Catholicism.
– I love this approach he is doing, but the Pope was first and foremost the sponsor of the World Church. Yes, I think there is a global consensus today regarding it. In his attractiveness, there was a lot of dimensions … there are those who talked about the gradual Pope, but I say that above all I was in the social doctrine of the Church from the Bible after he kicked a lot of living poverty, including the miserable Ernsina villas, which I also knew. His main mission was to announce Jesus Christ and at the same time in the name of God to seek peace, and ask for mercy, that wars are never forgotten, that the poor have never forgotten. Everything went side by side. I lived with him.
It must be exciting to hear this great love that it wakes up in Catholics, not Catholics.
-Yes. I was convinced that he was also the Pope with a lot of freedom, and therefore not always applauding all the facts and methods, but it is very successful in many of God’s people and in many societies, and as he says, in the men and women who felt humanity but not Catholicism. There is a complete social dimension in which many men and women meet from good and find ourselves, and that the social dimension in the Pope wanted to serve in the name of God, justice, equality, mercy. I think justice is done. Besides what the Holy Father, who had a very personal imprint, was very special, he lived very conditional by all American -American associations. His education and his direction were distinguished by what he was his life, his theological reflection and his view of the poor.
– All this, does the Holy Spirit have a very high tape?
– I would like to tell you yes. But I don’t know if I was disappointed by some of those who can read me. I will share a conviction that I have: Did we have Pope Francis without Pope Benikt 16 who would have said in 2013, “It is time to here? I am not writing four pages on this topic if I do not think about “what he said about this Benedict XVI, because he was really a man who is able to dialogue at the level of equality with the best philosophers in the contemporary world, and I talk about Habermas and all that generation. However, I return to his question: The Holy Spirit will have to work, but it will give us the necessary Pope for the next contracts.
– How will it be like?
– Potatoes of tradition, but not traditional. The Pope, who is not based on Jesus Christ, the Gospel, and the Apostolic and Church traditions, will be incomprehensible. This is what it keeps, I do not say the pillars of the earth, but for the church. The Pope seems to me that he should be able to read today from this world as Francisco did and is able to dialogue with the world and tend to bridges. I have heard some talk about the danger of nendolso and others say no, it is impossible. I don’t think it will be produced.
– But you can also be the Pope.
– No, I will participate legally in the range, as part of these hundred and forty and some Cardinals, and I have offered my view, but undoubtedly, in another person, because there are people of great value.
– It is a historical moment that will live.
– I never imagined in my life.
Well, it should be very exciting.
– I do not live with Vertigo, but with emotion. First of all, you have to say goodbye to our Pope. Imagine what is for me to say goodbye to those who considered that I can serve the church from here. I feel emotion and thanks, but the only person he admitted: “Now, to come here and contribute.” I live a unique moment in the story in which I will try to make my contribution.
– It is recognized that there is no pendolazo, but there is a lot of opening doors and windows, will it be preserved?
– Every moment, every time, in every session, there is a fingerprint. I don’t know how to say the next. Who tells us how the world will be, and the relationships … it cannot be predicted and I am convinced that the Holy Father is in its history and everything he takes in his backpack will be very aware of the guarantee of the company among the believers, and the continuation of a unified church but in a dialogue with the world. We must assume that the world lives a moment of special complexity that we did not notice twenty years ago.
– What will be the challenges?
– The line will be to continue to guarantee the company within the church, which can feel comfortable that has looks in one direction or another, and the sensitivity of type A and B, but we are all part of the same church of the Lord Jesus. It is a great task. I have a conviction that everyone who is the Holy Father cannot be unpopular for these great challenges such as dialogue with the world at all times. The church will be unimaginable and will not try to talk to the world. Francisco launched this melody in a Titanic way.
– And the role of women?
– In the same line. And I say that I serve in Dicastery where the governor is dedicated. We work great. The Pope’s fortified path continues, and then it will be what it is or another. It will enhance, open doors. It is so.
There are other issues in which Francisco opened its way, such as children with children and the LGTBI community approach. What church do you want in those areas?
– I want a church to listen, tend to bridges and mercy. It is clear that any of the abuse of type, and sexual is very dangerous, is unacceptable, so that it is absolutely tolerated. It is an irreversible path. Francisco has so much energy that I think it was years of purification of the church. With regard to the LGTBI movement, the position of dialogue, listening and confrontation will continue because it is really unified.
