日前愛爾蘭已經通過同性婚姻合法化,讓所謂「平權」又往前邁進了一大步。今年《時代雜誌》所選出的百大影響人物之一,羅馬大主教Francis雖然在同性婚姻的合法問題上並沒有表明立場,但他維持中立以及謙虛不批判的態度,卻讓他與其他大主教不太一樣,也因此入選為百大影響人物之一:
Pope Francis –The Humble Pastor
During his term as Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Pope Francis eschewed the extravagant trappings of his office, living in a simple apartment and cooking his own meals. Then he packed his pastoral humility in his suitcase and took it with him to Rome.
There, he has instilled a new sense of human-centeredness in the papacy. He has described himself as a sinner, and his nonjudgmental views on contentious church issues such as sexual orientation and divorce have brought hope to millions of Roman Catholics around the world.
弗朗西斯主教:謙卑的牧師
在擔任布宜諾艾利斯(阿根廷首都)的大主教期間,弗朗西斯主教避開了華麗的辦公桌椅中所帶來的陷阱,改而居住在一間簡單的公寓,並且每天為自己料理三餐。之後,他將這樣的謙卑裝進行李箱中,帶到羅馬去。
在那兒,他為羅馬教會注入了嶄新的人文中心思想。他將自己形容為一個曾經犯過罪的人,而他對於一些在教會中充滿爭議性的議題:例如同性戀議題或是離婚議題,都不帶任何批判語氣。而這樣的主教為在世界各地數以百萬計的的羅馬天主教教徒無疑地帶來了許多希望。
os: 要擁有看待人人皆平等的寬容知心絕非易事。這世界上多一點這種人就會多更多更多溫暖了。
