What's your number? cystone pret farmacia dona (By Kate Carlisle) Rome, September 11 - Pope Francis said that evennon-believers are eligible for God's mercy in a letter to thefounder of Italy's daily paper La Repubblica published onWednesday. Francis, whose papacy is ever-more characterized by hischarismatic approach and no-bars-held style of communication,was responding to an August 7 editorial on faith and secularismby the paper's founder Eugenio Scalfari that asked "if theChristian God forgives those who do not believe and do not seekfaith". Scalfari's editorial last month posed the questions, "DoesGod forgive non-believers? Does absolute truth exist? Is Godmerely a creation of the human mind?". In another series of pontifical 'firsts', Pope Francisstepped up to the plate to answer Scalfari's questions directlyby taking pen to paper and writing a letter to La Repubblica. The daily dedicated cover space and three inside pages to the pope's letter that began with "Esteemed Dr. Scalfari, it iswith heartfelt appreciation that...I will try to answer yourletter that enriched the pages of this same newspaper with yourpersonal reflection". Veteran commentator Scalfari wrote in an accompanyingeditorial entitled 'Lost Sheep' that he had not expected thepope to respond "so extensively and so affectionately with suchfraternal spirit". "Perhaps it is because the lost sheep merits more attentionand assistance?," Scalfari wrote. Francis wrote that "God's mercy has no limits, if you go tohim with a sincere and repentant heart. The key issue fornon-believers is that of "obeying their consciences" when facedwith choices of good or evil. Sin, even for those who have nofaith, is when one goes against their conscience. "Thank you especially for the attention you dedicated toreading Lumen Fidei," Francis wrote to Scalfari. Pope Francis's first encyclical, which was co-written withhis predecessor Benedict XVI, "Lumen Fidei", was published inJuly. Lumen Fidei is directed towards not only those who arebelievers in Jesus, but it also seeks to open a sincere dialoguewith "those like yourself who define themselves as non-believersbut for many years have been interested in and fascinated withJesus of Nazareth's teachings," the pope wrote to Scalfari. "It was precisely....from my personal experience of faithlived through the Church that I am comfortable listening to yourquestions and ready to seek, together with you, the road alongwhich we can perhaps begin to walk together," Francis said. The letter that the pope wrote is yet "further proof of hisability and desire to overcome barriers in dialogue with all andhis search for peace, love and testimony," Scalfari wrote. Italy's atheist association on Wednesday said that whatinterested non-believers was the "concrete application ofdialogue and understanding" for much discussed social andpolitical issues. "What interests non-believers is beyond the nice words anddeclarations of intent, and is certainly not 'forgiveness' froman entity whose existence we do not trust or presumedsalvation," the group said. The group underlined that what they held as important,instead, is "that representatives of those religious conceptsapply them". Since assuming the papacy, the pope has written heartfeltletters to world leaders like Vladimir Putin, personallytelephoned comfort-seekers like an Argentine rape victim andreached out to embrace disenfranchised immigrants and impoverishpeople in Italy and throughout his travels to date.
