They can do this because they know how to ‘keep,’ to hold together the various threads of life,” the pontiff said. “We need such people, capable of weaving the threads of communion in place of the barbed wire of conflict and division.

Yes and a crime against life since women give life

Parole sante 💔

The Catholic Church killed millions over the centuries.

But it's okay to commit violence against children? Read the Bible papa. It says God will deal with child molesters.

Bless him.

This man not even read The Bible, and ignores God’s commandments like it was never written. Jesus Christ warned us of the men and their false teachings.

I hope he can see that the earth is not flat like his book says...

And yet we cannot be leaders in the church. Crazy and sad.
