“The pope: Cool and funny is not enough”
“It is more important that the catholic church is meaningful than it is cool or funny. It says pope Francis during his visit in Panama.”
“The 82-year-old pope was received like a rock star when he rolled in with his påvemobil to meet catholic young people who had gathered to celebrate world youth day in the central american country.”
“the Pope said to the cheering masses that they are not going to be afraid, but instead to impatiently go forward with energy.”
“– To go forward, not to create a parallel church that would be more fun or cooler, thanks to an awesome youth event, as if it were everything you needed or wanted, ” said Francis and continued:”
“– That way of thinking would not respect either you or everything that the holy spirit is saying through you. Not at all!”
“the Pope spoke in the past before the central american bishops to defend the migrants, and came back to the question, even on the week-long celebration.”
“– By your actions and your attitude, your way of looking at things, so discredits you and disarms the kind of talk whose purpose is to create division, or to exclude or reject those who are not like us, said the pope.”
“world youth day is an event which usually takes place every three years in different countries, which means that christian young people get the chance to meet the pope.”
“the Event takes place in Panama between 22 and 27 January. 2016 was Krakow in Poland, the site of world youth day.”
