Pope Francis' blueprint for a better world, post COVID (U.S. Catholic magazine)

COVID-19 exposed our flaws. Can Catholic social teaching mend them?

On the one hand, he notes, “The Covid-19 pandemic momentarily revived the sense that we are a global community, all in the same boat, where one person’s problems are the problems of all.” He notes that the pandemic made us realize that faith in the market was not enough to protect us. His bottom line is that we will either come out of it better or come out of it worse. But there was an even darker side to the Roaring Twenties. The experience of a pandemic possibly made people more suspicious of one another. But he cautions that we need to heed the lessons of history. All of this is a far cry from what Fratelli Tutti calls for—an “open world” marked by fraternity and global solidarity. Thus, the first great pandemic of the modern era gave way to the Roaring Twenties. The lessons of history tell us that pandemics tend to leave a deep mark, and not always for the better. The Tulsa Race Massacre, one of the worst episodes of racist violence in modern history, took place in 1921, right on the heels of the Spanish flu. The question for us is: Will we take a similar path after COVID-19, or will we make healthier choices? It was a period epitomized by the bacchanal glamor narrated in The Great Gatsby. The first point to note is that the Spanish flu was almost erased from history. Shortly after that, in October 2020, he issued his prophetic encyclical Fratelli Tutti (On Fraternity and Social Friendship) under the clouds of virus-magnified tensions, anxieties, and dislocations.

And, with creativity and courage, announce the mercy and tenderness of God,” he said. “I never tire of repeating that I prefer a church that is wounded because it goes out to the existential peripheries of the world, rather than a church that is sick because it remains closed up in its own little securities,” Pope Francis said.

Old age, he said, also reminds us of the “depth of the gaze of faith” which reminds us that Jesus spoke of Paradise in parables about festive banquets, something the Pope said we can look forward to. Pope Francis noted that old age helps us understand the meaning of time and the limitations we face as we near the end of our time of “initiation”. “In old age the works of faith, which bring us and others closer to the Kingdom of God, are by now beyond the power of the energy, words, and impulses of youth and maturity,” he said.

It is the work of the Holy Spirit through the Sacred College of Cardinals,” the group added.
