The C\u00edrculo E\u00e7a de Queiroz joins the Catholic Church in mourning the passing of Pope Francis, an essential figure in the religious and moral life of our time. His death represents a profound loss for millions of faithful around the world and for all those who recognized in his witness a call to human dignity, justice, and fraternity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPope Francis will be remembered for a pontificate marked by the simplicity of his gestures and the strength of his pastoral message,\u201d said Ant\u00f3nio Martins da Costa, president of the C\u00edrculo E\u00e7a de Queiroz. \u201cHis commitment to an open Church, close to the poor and centered on service, translated into a deeply human leadership, guided by listening and welcoming. A defender of interreligious dialogue and peace, Pope Francis always sought an inclusive Church, \u2018at the service of all, all, all,\u2019 as he repeatedly affirmed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The C\u00edrculo E\u00e7a de Queiroz highlights, among the significant moments of his pontificate, his visit to Lisbon for the 2023 World Youth Day. This event, which the CEQ was willing to support, was a moment of encounter among cultures, generations, and expressions of faith, inspiring a renewed commitment to the Gospel values of solidarity and hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the president of the C\u00edrculo E\u00e7a de Queiroz, \u201cPope Francis leaves us a spiritual and human legacy of immense significance. With him, we learned that the Church’s mission is fulfilled through closeness, attentive listening, and the courage to open paths of peace in a world so often divided.\u201d The C\u00edrculo E\u00e7a de Queiroz expresses its solidarity with the Church and with all those across the world who find in Pope Francis\u2019 example a reference of authenticity, compassion, and commitment to the common good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
