| Summary: | In response to the phenomenon of globalization, which has resulted in the exclusion of entire peoples and their cultures, Pope Francis has proposed a pastoral geopolitics that is in keeping with the spirit of Vatican II and Latin American theology. Today's poor are not only the individually poor, but also "poor-peoples" (pueblos-pobres). Francis's pastoral geopolitics seeks to identify the new historical processes being formed on the peripheries, such as social movements for democratic and inclusive societies, processes that the Church should encourage by valuing and incarnating itself in poor-peoples' "cultures." His structural option for the poor brings together ecclesiology, geopolitics, and evangelization. |
