After discussing the situation in Venezuela, saying that he was "terrorized by violence, fearing bloodshed" and sponsoring a "just and peaceful solution", Francis pbaded into the life of the Church.

The pontiff has closed the door to a possible "election" of single priests: "I will not do it". "I am closed, maybe … I do not see myself standing before God with this decision." The pope, however, referred to "certain possibilities" where "there is a pastoral problem due to the lack of priests" and cited the Pacific Islands as an example.

But not with a complete priestly ordination: "theologians must study" the question, that of the so-called "viri probati", of the newlyweds deemed capable of providing a sacrament in the absence of priests. The open doors, in contrast, to bad education in schools because "bad is a gift from God, not a monster".

But Francisco emphasizes that bad education should be free of "ideological colonization" and comments: "I saw a dirty book". "The ideal" is that bad education starts in the family, but that "is not always possible because there are very varied situations in families, and so the school provides this, because otherwise there will be a void that will be filled later. " by any ideology ".

But it is also a chance to "ask forgiveness from the whole Church". The pontiff also spoke of excessive expectations, "inflated", concerning the appointment at the end of February with the presidents of all the episcopal conferences of the world, because "the problem of the abuses is a human problem, but human everywhere".

He also had words of enthusiasm for the days spent with the young people of Panama. "The thermometer to understand" if you are satisfied with what you have done "is fatigue, and I am destroyed," he told his interlocutors. Among the themes that echoed on World Youth Day, there is that of migrants, and Francisco highlights the "lack of memory" of many countries based on the presence of migrants.

"In Argentina, we are all migrants", and therefore in the United States. I asked to deal with the issue, which is "complex", "without prejudice". The pope reiterated that Italy was "generous" at the reception and stressed that the policy should be supportive but also "cautious" because if it is welcomed, it is necessary to give the opportunity to have a good time. an integration.

He then called on Europe to help the countries of origin of the migrants: "Europe is able to do it," he badured. The pope also spoke about the life of the Church, sometimes unable to testify to young people: "I'm afraid of Catholics who say they are perfect," who "go to Mbad every Sunday and do not pay the Christmas bonus, but pay in black "to the people who work for them.

Finally, the tragedy of abortion: God "always forgives", but the women who made this decision need not only mercy but also reconciliation with that child that they did not want. "I advise you when you have this anguish:" Your son is in heaven, speak with him, Cntale the chick you could not sing, "concluded Francisco.
