When he said Mass for the College of Cardinals in
the Sistine Chapel on Thursday, newly elected Pope Francis I warned
these princes of the church against professing what he called “the
worldliness of the devil, a demonic worldliness.”
“Anyone who does not pray to the Lord prays to the
devil,” Francis said, quoting Leon Bloy, a French writer who died in
1917, and who converted from agnosticism to Catholicism.
“When we profess Christ without the Cross, we are not disciples of
the Lord, we are worldly: we may be bishops, priests, cardinals, popes,
but not disciples of the Lord,” the pope told the cardinals.
Here's the text of his homily – and it's quite short.
