Like Sts. Peter and Paul, the church must go out to evangelize and not be bound by the chains of routine and spiritual mediocrity that stifles the Gospel message, Pope Francis said.

Pope Francis says he believes the clashes over the liturgy currently ongoing in the Church call for Catholics to “abandon our polemics” and “safeguard our communion.”

Nancy Pelosi took Communion during a Mass presided over by Pope Francis on Wednesday.
