" 'I would like to ask all those who have positions of responsibility in economic, political and social life, and all men and women of goodwill: Let us be protectors of creation, protectors of God’s plan inscribed in nature, protectors of one another and of the environment.' He added: ' We must not be afraid of goodness or even tenderness.' "
In his inauguration mass as the new leader of the world's 1.2 billion Roman Catholics, Pope Francis communicated to the world his appeal to the protection of the weak, the poor and the environment. In other words, he is endorsing the triple bottom line business model - people, profit and planet. He also mentioned that being humble and caring are not signs of weakness. “Let us never forget that authentic power is service,” he said. “Only those who serve with love are able to protect.” In addition, he entitled each one of us to be protectors of the gift that God has given to us, including the environment we live in. Since day one he showed to be humble by asking the people to pray for him. He should be a great example of a honest, humble and caring leader to Catholics and non Catholics all over the world.
