Pope Francis urged Vatican cardinals, bishops, and bureaucrats yesterday to embrace humility this Christmas season, saying their pride self-interest and the "glitter of our armor" was perverting their spiritual lives and corrupting the church's mission, the AP website reports today (December 24, 2021).
Francis used his annual Christmas address to take Vatican administrators to task for their perceived moral and personal failings, denouncing in particular those pride-filled clerics who rigidly hide behind Catholic traditions rather than seek out the neediest with humility.
The cardinals and bishops sat stone-faced as they listened to Francis lecture them in the Hall of Blessings.
