The Pope’s Mass at Santa Marta. Good manners and bad habits
The Pope’s Mass at Santa Marta.
Good manners and bad habits
Peter, the Bishop of Rome explained, was a human being and so could not but likewise be tempted to interfere in the life of others, “as the vulgar expression says, to ‘stick his nose into other people’s affairs’”. This also happens in our life as Christians. “How often”, the Pope wondered, “are we tempted to do this?” Dialogue “with Jesus has been diverted to a different track”. This interference in others’ lives comes in many different forms. The Pope mentioned two: the constant comparison of oneself to others, and gossip, which is, literally, “flaying each other”. Three other common forms of negative behaviour, he said, are disinformation, mud-slinging, and calumny.
Concelebrating with the Pope among others was Bishop Enrico Dal Covolo, sdb. He came with personnel of the Pontifical Lateran University of which he is Rector.
