Pope Francis has lamented what he calls today's 'culture of insults' in the world
Pope Francis on Sunday lamented what he called a"culture of insults" enabled by social media and warned against nationalism and other"exclusivist ideas" that he said contrast with a Christian mission to foster harmony.
"In today's world, lack of harmony has led to stark divisions," Francis said."There are those who have too much and those who have nothing, those who want to live to a hundred and those who cannot even be born." The pope said that"nowadays it is fashionable to hurl adjectives and, sadly, even insults" in what's tantamount to"a culture of insults." He recommended responding"to malice with goodness, to shouting with silence, to gossip with prayer, to defeatism with encouragement."
