a Cardinal from Watom Island

Pope Francis' choice to nominate a Cardinal from the periphery as far as on the edges of Watom Island and Papua New Guinea confirms what and who Pope Francis represents and remains steadfast to his standards...The Crux in this profile of Cardinal Ribat looks at the geographical location, the issues driving the cause and the personal Charism necessary for the life of credible witness of the Church today in the world. The Crux reckons there's little separating Pope Francis and his choice of Cardinal for Sir John Ribat when it comes to critical tissues on refugees, Climate Change, Capital Punishment, the plight of the West Papuans, the focus on street's children especially in Port Morseby city, justice and law and order, deep sea mining, violence and sorcery, the list goes on, so Rome had been on the watch as Abp John Ribat MSC made his interventions as far as the national debates took centre stage on these variety of issues...the latest were the political impasse and political leadership challenges in PNG just to highlight some typical realities. With the catching headlines on Crux that "Pope's new cardinal in PNG ticks all boxes" takes the Holy Spirit to have been noticing, highlighting and keeping tghe record on all that is done with a deep sense of humility and sincerity for the sake of the common good and wellbeing of everyone, everywhere at everytime.
