VATICAN CITY: Pope Francis yesterday said Catholics should not be afraid of renewing “old and flimsy structures” in the Catholic Church and urged future priests and nuns to buy “humble” cars and respect their vows of poverty.
“In Christian life and in Church life too there are old and flimsy structures. We need to renew them,” the pope said in his homily at a private mass for Swiss Guards, Vatican radio reported on its website.
“We should not be afraid of allowing the flimsy structures that imprison us to fall down,” he said. AFP
