Ayyyyy!

Dear PluniaZ,

You have beaten me to it! I just logged on now to post a link to this inspiring talk.

The full transcript is available at this website.

I would post the whole thing here, but it is apparently above the character limit.

God bless Pope Francis! The Council Fathers who drafted “Inter Mirifica” would be very proud of this initiative.

And me too. Pretty awesome

**“How wonderful it would be if solidarity, this beautiful and at times inconvenient word, were not simply reduced to social work, and became instead the default attitude in political, economic and scientific choices, as well as in the relationships among individuals, peoples and countries.” **

How wonderful it would be indeed!

"Solidarity is a term that many wish to erase from the dictionary."

Too true

Thank you all for the links to this talk

Before I listen to it, may I ask what it is about?

It’s what the Pope feels the world at large should hear/ understand…a homily for all.
It’s not aimed at just Catholics, but all people. A great way to reach out to many…he’s the shepherd to the world. It’s a wonderful opportunity to hear IN HIS OWN WORDS…without media “spin”.

Is it theological, about Jesus or the Gospels, or is it about global warming I guess is what I am asking?

Why don’t you listen and find out?

 

[7_Sorrows]

Why don’t you listen and find out?

Because I don’t have time right now.

It sounds like you are saying you are only interested in listening what Pope Francis says if it confirms your own beliefs (my apologies if I am wrong here).

 

[pianistclare]

Because I don’t have time right now.

It’s the internet. It will be out there forever.

But what is the theme of his talk?

But what is the theme of his talk?

If you have time for all these posts, you probably have time to watch it.

 

[pianistclare]

Plus, it’s only 18 minutes long.

I could have watched it in the time it took to make these brief posts.

So it isn’t that long?

The last TED talk I watched lasted 45 minutes or more.

 

[jesucated]

But what is the theme of his talk?

Hope, solidarity, and tenderness.

 

[7_Sorrows]

Hope, solidarity, and tenderness.

Thank you. I did read some of what he said. I did like what he said about tenderness.

That’s highly unusual. TED asks all speakers to keep their talks to 18 minutes or less.
