Pope Calls for Unity on 60th Anniv. of Vatican II; Sad that Changes Have Led to Church Divisions

 Pope Francis on October 10 marked the 60th anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council by pleading for the Catholic Church to "overcome all polarization and preserve our communion," the Catholic News website reports today (October 12, 2022).


In a Mass at St. Peter's Basilica, the Pope said the council, which was inaugurated by Pope St.  John XXIII, was "one great response" to the question "Do you love me?" posed by Christ to His disciples.


"To rekindle her love for the Lord, the Church, for the first time in history, devoted a council to examining herself and reflect on her nature and mission," the Pope said.
