Wednesday 22 June 2022, the National Federation of the Orders of Chemists and Physicists, led by the President Nausicaa Orlandiconferred on Pope Francis, Jorge Mario Bergogliothe title of honorary chemist, by registering it on the relative List held at the Federation.

This recognition was attributed to the Holy Father “for his closeness to the chemical sciences as the foundation of the activities aimed at protecting and safeguarding the environment, for his commitment to create a universal ecological awareness that determines a change of direction and leads to scientific, productive and technological progress capable of combining social sustainability with the equitable and universal use of the planet’s resources “.

“Looking at Creation – explains the Federation – one cannot, in fact, but be admired by its vastness and power, as evident as they are permeated with mystery. For a higher will we find ourselves living in a hospitable universe of fragments that obey celestial forces. , to which we men and women have given the names of Chemistry and Physics. Through science, we are given to understand an infinitesimal of what surrounds us and as we penetrate the secrets of Nature we realize that the Universe looks at us and with love he lets himself be discovered. The Holy Father, with his words, has shown the world in a new form in which love for nature has the flavor of the welcome we find at home. And to safeguard our home, which we share with other living beings, it should not be an obligation, but a precise spontaneous interior duty “.

“While waiting for our turn to greet the Holy Father closely – comments President Orlandi – we knew that Pope Francis is used to meeting and listening to people from all backgrounds. The experience went way beyond expectations. His gaze embraces, his smile welcomes with a calm kindness and his words invite you to rely on his profound spirituality. Upon hearing the word chemists pronounced, with his great spontaneity and simplicity, the Pope called us “colleagues”. He has pervaded us in a moment with an emotion of belonging to a community attentive to the needs of what surrounds it. “

Chemistry and Physics know the ways to arrive at the Holy Father’s projectcontinues the President Orlandi -. We are proud to belong to a category that works to increase well-being and quality of life. A pinch of benevolent pride on our part is that chemistry today has awakened distant memories, never abandoned, in a man who has reached the highest peaks of spirituality in his life .. “
