Everyone experiences doubts about their faith occasionally – “I have many times,” Pope Francis said – but such doubts can be “a sign that we want to know God better and more deeply”.
“We do not need to be afraid of questions and doubts, because they are the beginning of a path of knowledge and going deeper; one who does not ask questions cannot progress either in knowledge or in faith,” the Pope said at his weekly general audience.
Pope Francis said that although the Year of Mercy has concluded, he still wanted to continue his general audience reflections on the corporal and spiritual works of mercy.
