His Holiness had a two-hour discussion with the priests of Rome on Monday.
RomaSette said Pope Francis spoke with the parish priests and answered a wide range of questions, addressing the serious problems affecting the Church clearly but without pessimism.
“The Church is not falling to pieces. It has never been better. This is a wonderful moment for the Church, you just need to look at its history. There are saints that are recognized by non-Catholics as well as Catholics – I’m thinking of Mother Theresa – but many men and women perform acts of holiness every day and this gives us hope. Sanctity is greater than scandal,” the newspaper writes.

Sanctity is greater than scandal. So I guess that means that there are no scandals like sex abuse of minors. This what Michael Voris calls the Church of Nice where everything is just wonderful. He is either naïve or in denial or wearing rose colored glasses. Pope John was the same way, too naïve about the real world and culture.

Sanctity is greater than scandal. So I guess that means that there are no scandals like sex abuse of minors. This what Michael Voris calls the Church of Nice where everything is just wonderful. He is either naïve or in denial or wearing rose colored glasses. Pope John was the same way, too naïve about the real world and culture.
