Pope Francis: The true priest and his relation to Jesus
(Vatican Radio) At his daily Mass on Saturday morning at the Casa Santa Marta, Pope
Francis spoke about the priesthood. A true priest, he said, anointed by God for His
people, has a close relationship with Jesus. When that relationship is missing, the
priest becomes “greasy,” an idolater, a worshiper of the “god Narcissus.”
The
Pope was joined at the Mass by Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco and a group of priests of
the Archdiocese of Genoa who concelebrated with the Holy Father.
