Pastoralny wymiar nauczania papieża Franciszka do dyplomatów

Diplomacy in the contemporary world is put into jeopardy and faces numerous threats such as armed conflicts, terrorism or economic crises. It is often the case the above problems stem from failure to implement moral values in the international life and relations. The situation requires an in-depth reflection and change of mentality. The issue can be handled best with the teaching of Pope Francis addressed to diplomats. He presents his thoughts on the world and the changes which take place therein together with the assessment of the present events, all this being made via a thorough analysis of the development of international relations and specific incidents around the world. By addressing international issues the Pope shows paths which modern diplomacy should follow. The problems of utmost importance are respecting human dignity, overcoming poverty, striving for brotherhood and dialog as well as commitment to achieve world peace. The above topics gain a pastoral dimension in the teaching of Pope Francis addressed to diplomats.
