New Pope Leo XIV uses his first homily to warn against reducing Jesus to "a kind of charismatic leader or superman", in an apparent message to evangelical Christians. Chicago-born Robert Francis Prevost on Thursday became the 267th pope, spiritual leader of the world's 1.4 billion Catholics and successor to Argentina's Pope Francis, after a secret conclave by his fellow cardinals in the Vatican's Sistine Chapel.

00:00Even today, there are no more contexts in which Jesus,
00:04even though Jesus is appreciated as man,
00:06is divided only into a kind of a charismatic leader
00:11or a super-man.
00:13And this is not only among the non-credents,
00:16but also among the many baptized,
00:19who end up living in this level
00:22and in atheism, in fact.
00:25Even today,
00:26not only are few the contexts in which
00:29the Christian faith is considered absurd
00:33for weak people,
00:36a little intelligent people,
00:38contexts in which now
00:40we prefer other securities,
00:42such as technology,
00:44money, success,
00:46power,
00:48and pleasure.
00:50It is an environment in which
00:52it is not easy to witness
00:54to announce the Vangelo
00:56and where
00:57who believe is
00:58derisive,
00:59ostracized,
01:00disprezed,
01:02or at the maximum
01:04supported and compatited.
01:06The lack of faith
01:08often brings with us
01:10dramas
01:11such as the loss of the sense of life,
01:14the oblique of the misericordia,
01:16the violation of the dignity of the person
01:19in their most dramatic ways,
01:22the crisis of the family
01:24and many other diseases
01:27in which our society
01:29suffers,
01:30and not just a little.
01:32can only do all the things
01:33have done in which
01:34we can do
01:36with a group to live
01:37and try to live
01:38as well.
01:39It's important,
01:40but the anxiety
01:41has been on the mind.
01:42We need a bing
01:43as our mother
01:44is to work to be
01:45able to accept
01:46the dignity
01:47and of the suffering
01:48as we have
01:49as we can do
01:50as a mother
01:52our mother
01:53as women
01:54be a force
01:55to live
