Moral Living

1. Good

   • Pope Francis
     • He is bringing the Church back to its roots of community and sharing, much like the old prophets were to bring Israel back to the Mosaic Law
     • He has appealed for a poorer Church, one that was for the poor He has backed this up with actions, he has spurned the wealthy trappings of his post e.g. the papacy apartment.
   • Malala Yousafzai
     • She is a Pakistani school pupil and education activist from the town of Mingora When she was 11-12 she wrote a blog for the BBC, detailing her life under Taliban rule and her views on education for Girls She was shot in the head by the Taliban, but survived and continued her activism
     • She preached a message against the controlling powers She spoke up for education and rights for women, where the Taliban had banned women from school. Is the youngest person ever to be nominated for a peace prize
   • Liu Xiaobo
     • He is a Chinese human rights activist, who had called for political reforms in China and the end of communist single party rule He is currently under house arrest as a political prisoner
     • He is preaching against the Leaders of his country and giving up his freedom to do so He has put his life on the line for his believes, and continues to preach even with his rights taken away. Much like Micaiah
