Fr. Antonio Spadaro speaks on the upcoming visit by Pope Francis and the Geopolitics of Mercy
By Staff Writer
In November of 2019, Pope Francis will make his first official visit as pope to Japan. In advance of this, a series of three symposia have been planned by Sophia University in Tokyo on the aims of this trip.
The first of these was a talk titled “Geopolitics of Mercy of Pope Francis,” presented by Father Antonio Spadaro, editor in chief of the Jesuit journal La Civiltà Cattolica and advisor to the pope.
The invitation first came from Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in 2014 and was followed afterwards by a joint invitation from the mayors of Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
The pope is planning to visit both cities, in addition to visiting Tokyo, during his trip. This will be the first such visit to Japan since Pope John Paul II arrived in 1981.
