“Faith inspires charity and charity keeps faith,” Pope Francis said at yesterday’s Angelus (full text, full video). Cardinal Charles Bo has urged religious leaders in Burma to “avoid all hate speech” ahead of the papal visit. The world risks “confusing the primacy of conscience ... with the exclusive autonomy of the individual”, the Pope has said in a video message to a conference on Amoris Laetitia. Ann Carey argues that the “transformation of orders caused a massive loss of identity for women religious”. Robert Mickens says Francis has been slower than “his last two predecessors in reshaping the leadership of the Roman Curia”. Claire Lesegretain suggests the Church has a “blind spot” when it comes to single people. And Pope Francis has blessed a Vespa that will travel more than 6,000 miles to Dakar.
