In today’s news from Reuters in Vatican City - Pope Francis urged Roman
Catholic leaders to avoid “it’s all about me” closed system but that the
Church's credibility rested on its ability to help the poor and persecuted way
out on the margins of society.
Francis called for a more merciful and compassionate Church in the homily
of a Mass in St. Peter's Basilica for new cardinals who were installed on
Saturday. He urged the Cardinals to pay
attention to the imprisoned, sick, unemployed and persecuted and to those who
have lost their faith, as well as atheists.
"The way of the Church is precisely to leave her four walls behind and
to go out in search of those who are distant, those on the outskirts of
life," the pope said.
"We will not find the Lord unless we truly accept the marginalized
(people) . . . Truly the Gospel of the
marginalized is where our credibility is at stake."
