[image: image.png] opening thoughts: 5. Global dance In 2024, University of Notre Dame professor David Lantigua <theology.nd.edu/people/david-lantigua/> had a cup of maté tea with some “porteños,” as people from Buenos Aires are known. They shared a surprising take on the Argentine pope: “a theologian of the tango.”Francis does love the dance – in 2014, thousands of Catholics tangoed in St. Peter’s Square to honor his birthday. But there’s more to it <theconversation.com/at-88-pope-francis-dances-the-tango-with-the-global-catholic-church-amid-its-culture-wars-222855>, Lantigua explains. Francis’ vision for the church was “based on relationships of trust and solidarity,” like a pair of dance partners. And part of his task as pope was to “tango” with all the world’s Catholics, carefully navigating culture wars and an increasingly diverse church.
Francis was “less interested in ivory tower theology than the faith of people on the streets,” where Argentina’s beloved dance was born.
