Pope Francis on priests

Pope Francis on a visit to Genoa said:

"There is a danger, and it is of creating the image of a priest who knows everything, and does not need any advice."

He also spoke of the priest who "has everything sorted out, everything in order, well structured and in its place.

"Maybe that priest is a good businessman, but is he a Christian? Or does he live as a Christian?"
