However, the term disability is not yet popular in Indonesia. They are still often discarded and classifiedas weak and marginalized. The purpose of this study is to see Pope Francis' concern for people with disabilities to be a pastoral basis. The research method used is a literature review. The results of the study show that Pope Francis pays special attention to people with disabilities. The pope noted the injustices and rejection that they experienced. The Pope also pays attention to the dignity of disability. The papal documents mention people with disabilities directly. The conclusion of the study is that Pope Francis' concern for people with disabilities can be a pastoral guidance for the Catholic Church in Indonesia
