The Pope Francisco will now have a stadium with his name. The Argentine pontiff will visit the stadium in Portugal next week that will be renamed with his name and on whose field the Fátima football club will play, which will undoubtedly be blessed by the religious leader.
The director of the sports club, Antonio Pereira, shared in an interview for Catholic radio Renascenca that they will unveil a plaque with the name "Estadio Papa Francisco" when they receive the Holy Father on May 12.
The name of the arena is currently the Municipal Stadium of Fátima, but this tribute to the highest pontiff will make the venue recognized worldwide after his presence. As expected, there is a large mounted security operation for your visit.
Pope Francis has known how to conquer hearts around the world by breaking traditional patterns within the Vatican and bringing God's message to new generations of followers. For example, he recently gave a talk at the popular TED conference in 2017 in which he discussed abuse of power.
The first talk of this type by a pope was titled "The future is you" and was recorded at the Vatican. Please let me say it clearly: the more power you have, the more your actions impact people, the more you are called to be humble. Because, otherwise, power ruins you and you will ruin others, "he said.
He also called for unity in the talk. “The future of humanity is not only in the hands of the politicians, of the great leaders, of the great companies. Yes, your responsibility is huge. But the future is above all in the hands of people who recognize the other as a you and themselves as part of a we. We need each other, he concluded.
