Like Sts. Peter and Paul, the church must go out to evangelize and not be bound by the chains of routine and spiritual mediocrity that stifles the Gospel message, Pope Francis said.

Pope Francis says he believes the clashes over the liturgy currently ongoing in the Church call for Catholics to “abandon our polemics” and “safeguard our communion.”

Nancy Pelosi took Communion during a Mass presided over by Pope Francis on Wednesday.

Before celebrating the Holy Year 2025, Pope Francis is asking Catholics around the world to dedicate time in 2023 to studying the documents of the Second Vatican Council.

Whether resting, traveling, working, serving others or going on a retreat, when students use their school breaks well, they are on the path to greater maturity, Pope Francis said.
