Pope Francis asked the 14 new cardinals he has consecrated today, including the Mexican Sergio Obeso Rivera, not to allow "sterile and self-referential discussions to gain space in the community"
In the fifth cardinal consortium of his pontificate celebrated at the Basilica of St. Peter in the Vatican, Francis asked the Cardinals "What is the use of winning the whole world if it is corroded inside? it to win the whole world if we are trapped by asphyxiating plots that dry up and render the heart and mission sterile? "In this situation – as someone who has pointed out – one could already glimpse palace intrigues, also in the ecclesiastical curiae
"It will not be like this among you", response of the Lord which, in the first place, is an invitation and a bet to recover the best of the disciples and thus not to be conquered and confined by material logics which deflect the look important "
He said that there are intersections of existence that "challenge us and manage to bring to light the not always transparent searches and desires of the human heart"
He referred in this context to jealousy, jealousies, intrigues, arrangements and accommodations
A logic, he said, "which not only corrodes and corrodes the relations between them, but also locks them up and puts them into unnecessary and irrelevant discussions"
Pope Francis told the Cardinals not to feel superior to anyone
"None of us should look at each other over the shoulder, from above
We are only allowed to look at someone from top to bottom when we help them to get up "
He then asked to serve Christ in the faithful people of God, to take care of the hungry, to think of the forgotten, the incarcerated, the sick, the drug addicts, the abandoned, the specific people with their stories and hopes, with their illusions and disappointments, their pains and their wounds
"Only so, the authority of the pastor will taste the Gospel, and it will not be like a metal that resonates or a cymbal that stuns"
In his Twitter account, Francisco writes: "Pray for the new cardinals, so that they can help me in my ministry of bishop of Rome for the good of all the People of God"
Pray for the new Cardinals, to help me in my ministry of bishop of Rome for the good of all the people of God
