A Letter from Pope Francis to Leonardo Boff
Pope Francis is suffering great opposition from some of the Roman Curia and, interestingly, also from conservative members of the Trump government, backed by conservative and even reactionary groups of the American Catholic Church, led by Cardinal Viganó.
Showing support for Pope Francis, I wrote him a letter, as I have done at other times. It was sent through the Argentine ambassador to the Holy See, Valdés, under the government of Cristiana Kirchner, and Francis answered me through him. The same was done in writing the encyclical Laudato Sí: on the care of the Common House, thanking me for my modest collaboration.
Here I show the letter of thanks for my support to him with the best wishes for my 80 years of life.
Here is the letter:
Dr. Leonardo Boff
Dear brother,
Thank you for your letter sent by Fr. Fabian.
I am happy to receive it and thank you for the generosity of your comments.
I remember our first meeting, in San Miguel, at a meeting of the CLAR, there for the years 72-75. After that I followed you, reading some of your works.
For these days you will be celebrating 80 years. I send you my best wishes.
And please do not forget to pray for me. I do it for you and your Lady.*
May Jesus bless you and may the Blessed Virgin care for you.
Fraternally.
Francis
