Do not settle for a worry-free, comfortable life with an unhealthy attachment to money and an ambitious heart yearning for honors, Pope Francis told seminarians studying in Rome.
"I'm telling you this as a brother, father and friend. Please, shun ecclesial careerism. It is a plague. Avoid it," he said on April 1 during an audience at the Vatican with students, faculty, staff and alumni of the Pontifical Spanish College of St Joseph in Rome. The college was celebrating the 125th anniversary of its founding.
