Catholics should not waste their lives by "diabolically" avoiding vocational commitments to either marriage or to the priesthood and consecrated life, the Bishop of Shrewsbury has said.
The remarks of Bishop Mark Davies came during a homily in the presence of a relic of the heart of Blessed Carlo Acutis, an Italian boy who will next year be canonised as the “first millennial saint”.
In a homily preached during Mass at St Anthony’s Church of Wythenshawe, Manchester, the bishop said all people are called to be saints like Blessed Carlo.
