Pope Francis protagonist of the cover of the new issue of Vanity Fair on newsstands from January 6: the weekly entrusts the pontiff with the task of opening 2021 with a message of love and hope
From today, Wednesday 6 January, the new issue of Vanity Fair which he sees as the protagonist Pope francesco together with his message to face 2021 with love and hope: "We are all in the same boat, we must become a great human family".
"We had a dream, at Vanity Fair, for the end of 2020: to start the new year with a message from Pope Francis, to entrust him with the task of opening 2021 with confidence in a better tomorrow", writes in his editorial the director of the weekly Simone Marchetti. “In recent months, we have talked extensively with his collaborators. And today we are proud of this issue which reports two great themes dear to the Pontiff and also fundamental for Vanity Fair: respect and love for diversity, all diversities. And the hope that the vaccine will be available for everyone, without distinction or nationalism, and above all for the most vulnerable and needy .
The cover portrays the serene face of the Pontiff who recalls a phrase of St. Francis, "All Brothers", a universal invitation addressed to every man and woman to be a great human family beyond diversity, indeed by accepting, loving and respecting diversity of all. A message that Vanity Fair for its cover has decided to translate into different languages.
A special issue that arrives on newsstands after months of pandemic and in the first days of the new year to remind us that "from a crisis like this one does not come out the same, but better or worse", as His Holiness recalled in his Pentecost homily.
The Pope's message continues inside the issue with an extract from the Urbi et Orbi Christmas blessing granted to Vanity Fair. Jorge Mario Bergoglio, 84, is the 266th Pontiff: from St. Francis of Assisi he inherited not only the name but also the desire to embrace all diversity.
