Pope Francis: "It is not the same to be sinners than corrupt"

Description

Rome (Italy), Dec 8 (EFE / EPA) .- Pope Francis warned Sunday that corruption of the heart or "hypocritical collusion with evil" is "the most serious danger" during the prayer he delivered while venerating the image of the Immaculate Conception in the Plaza of Spain in Rome. (CAMERA: Jorge Ortiz) DECLARATIONS OF POPE FRANCIS, IN ITALIAN: 1- "And so you remind us that it is not the same to be sinners than corrupt, but that it is quite different. It is one thing to fall and then repent, confess and rise with the help of the mercy of God, another is hypocritical collusion with evil, corruption of the heart, that outside appears impeccable but inside is full of mean intentions and petty selfishness."2- How much we need to be freed from the corruption of the heart, which is the most serious danger! This seems impossible, we are used to it, but it is really within reach. Just look up your mother's smile, your uncontaminated beauty, to feel again that we are not made for evil, but for good and love, for God. "
