Pope Francis on the feast of the Epiphany lamented the sharp division among Catholics of different views, saying believers must imitate the three wise men in putting God at the center of their lives, rather than their own ideas of the faith, the Crux website reports today (Jan. 7, 2024).
Speaking to attendees of his Jan. 6 Mass in St. Peter's Basilica , the pope said that as members of the church , "instead of splitting into groups based on our own ideas, we are called to put God back at the center."
"We need to abandon ecclesial ideologies to find the meaning of holy mother church, the ecclesial attitude. . Ecclesial ideologies no, ecclesial vocation yes." he said , saying, "The Lord, not our own ideas or our own projects," must be the focus.
