Italian and European newspapers have dedicated extensive coverage to the meetings and statements of the Pope, including an interview he conducted with the editors of the magazine Mondo e Missione, commemorating its 150th anniversary. During the meeting, Pope Francis highlighted that "the letters of missionaries and their lives showcased the frameworks and lives of the peoples they connected with."
He stated, "To this day, the reports and direct testimonies are the truest qualities of the magazine thanks to the narration of places and situations that are rarely talked about by others, namely the geographical and existential margins that remain on the fringes even in a world that seems to have shortened distances." He pointed out that "the challenge today is to head to those places to recognize the beauty and richness of differences, as well as the many injustices in societies that are increasingly interconnected yet marked by significant inequality."
Additionally, Italian and foreign newspapers allocated space for the Pope's message on "World Food Day 2022," where he said, "It will not be possible to address the numerous crises affecting humanity if we do not work and walk together, without leaving anyone behind. To achieve this goal, it is essential to see others as our brothers and sisters, as members who make up our human family."
