"Jesus is merciful and never grows tired of forgiving," Francis said at the Angelus yesterday (full video). All Saints and All Souls are "days of hope", the Pope said as he celebrated Mass at Rome's Verano cemetery on Friday (short video, full video). Fr Timothy Radcliffe says Archbishop Romero was killed because "he refused to collude in the myth of the wickedness of the poor". Thomas Peters describes his "physical and spiritual recovery" after a severe spinal cord injury. Fr Ray Blake wonders if Francis's new ferula is a bit too "bling". Fr Dwight Longenecker explains why SSPX Bishop Bernard Fellay reminds him of fundamentalist Bob Jones. And Rome Reports suggests that, if you want to meet the Pope in St Peter's Square, you need to don a wedding outfit. Follow me on Twitter @lukecoppen for updates throughout the day
