“We trust that he will build upon Pope Francis’ legacy of a compassionate and inclusive Church, with particular attention to the marginalized and the poor, informed by the Augustinian tradition of community, justice, and truth-seeking.
“Following the example of Pope Leo XIII, we also hope he will be a strong champion of the working class and a tireless advocate for social justice.
May his pontificate bring a renewed commitment to the Gospel tenets of mercy, solidarity, and the dignity of all peoples.” — BAYAN MUNA 2nd nominee Atty. Carlos Zarate
