A church free from risk of being concerned about itself
"Francis feels free to construct" a church that is, among other things, "at the service of this world by being faithful to Christ and his Gospel; free from all mundane spirituality; free from the risk of being concerned about itself, of becoming middle class, of closing in on itself, of being a clerical church; able to offer itself as an open space in which all can meet and recognise each other because there is space for dialogue, diversity and welcome in it."
Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga talking in St Petersburg, Florida, US.
