The steps taken by Pope Francis have challenged the international community with significant repercussions both in the media and in terms of reflection. With him we have witnessed a real paradigm shift with regard to Islam: no longer just knowing it, but rather, by referring to our common humanity, working together for the good of all.

P. Manuel Augusto Lopes Ferreira: “As periferias são o contexto da missão cristã”

Friday, March 4, 2022
In the garden around the UN headquarters in New York there is a Japanese-style bell. It is the Peace Bell. It was donated by the Japanese Chiyoji Nakagawa in 1954. Nakagawa collected gold coins from all over the world and melted them into a single bell that would be “a symbol of hope for world peace by all humankind, regardless of nationality, race, political ideology or religion”.
