The canonization of Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II in April 2014
04/26/2014
Pope Francis of Argentina is compared to Pope John XXIII who came from a rural area of Northern Italy. Pope John XXIII was highly informal and visited poor neighborhoods and churches similar to the manner of Pope Francis from Buenos Aires. Both Popes came to lead the Catholic Church at times of great stress, Pope John following the end of the Second World War and a general awakening to the need for maintaining peace in Europe. Pope Francis at a time of increasing inequalities in society throughout the world especially after the global financial crisis of 2008. Pope John Paul of Poland came in at a time of awakening also in the nations of Eastern Europe as nations were free from communist regimes. With three extraordinary leaders, the Catholic Church can continue to play an important role in the lives of people throughout the world, and offer hope and direction in global conflicts and crises.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
