The Pope told Italy's bishops to speak openly about their concerns

Pope Francis has told the Italian bishops that it is “not a sin to criticise the Pope here” as he opened their General Assembly.

The Pope revealed three “worries” during his speech: the decline in vocations, financial scandals, and the reduction and merging of dioceses.

He encouraged the bishops to “speak openly”, urging them to tell him “all the words, your concerns, criticisms – it is not a sin to criticise the Pope here, yes, not a sin – and inspirations that you carry in your hearts.”

Pope Francis said he was especially concerned at the “haemorrhaging” of vocations to the priesthood and religious life in Italy, adding that “God only knows” how many seminaries and monasteries will have to close.

He blamed factors such as demographic changes, scandals in the Church and a “dictatorship of money” that dissuades young people from making life-long commitments.

Great photo and great narrative.

I hear tell that Obummer wants to become head of the UN. With the Green Pope in place just think of all the global "changing" they could do.

Problem is they both have to have a fawning world to do anything and all they have right now is the lamestream media and all the people who are still clamoring after a broken down twice-defeated mother-goddess.
