| Summary: | The pontificate of Pope Francis continues to attract international attention, often from non-Catholics and non-believers alike. His declaration of the Year of Mercy in 2015 on the fiftieth anniversary of the close of the Second Vatican Council has drawn attention to the style of his papacy that greatly resembles the much loved Pope John XXIII. Pope Francis is also the first pontiff not to have attended Vatican II. He does not enter the great theological debates regarding the interpretation of the Second Vatican Council that greatly preoccupied his predecessor Pope Benedict XVI. Pope Francis takes Vatican II as a theological given and appears to live the grace and spirit of the Council in his own distinctive way, especially his pastoral emphasis on servant leadership and a merciful Church at the peripheries. Le pontificat du pape François continue de susciter l'intérêt des gens internationalement, souvent aussi de la part de non-catholiques et de non-croyants. Sa déclaration sur l'Année de la miséricorde en 2015, à l'occasion du cinquantième anniversaire de la clôture du deuxième Concile du Vatican, a attiré l'attention sur le style de son pontificat qui ressemble beaucoup à celui du bienaimé pape Jean XXIII. Le pape François est aussi le premier pontife à ne pas avoir été présent lors de Vatican II. Il n'entre pas dans les grands débats théologiques sur l'interprétation du deuxième Concile du Vatican qui ont tellement préoccupé son prédécesseur, le pape Benoit XVI. Le pape François considère Vatican II comme une évidence théologique et parait vivre la grâce et l'esprit du Concile à sa propre manière, spécialement avec son emphase pastorale sur le leadership-serviteur et l'Église miséricordieuse aux périphéries. |
