Pope Blasts Negativity in a New Normal World; Says Catholic Church Itself Must Pull Together

During Mass in St. Peter's Basilica today (May 31, 2020) to mark Pentecost Sunday, Pope Francis noted a tendency to say "nothing will return as before" (the coronavirus crisis), according to the Yahoo News website.

That kind of thinking, he said, guarantees "the one thing that certainly does not return is hope."

He took to task his own Catholic Church for its fragmentation, saying  it must pull together.

"The world sees conservatives and progressives," he said, but instead all are "children of God."
