The intention to change "is exactly the theological element that allows absolution and access to the Eucharist as long as there is the impossibility of immediately changing the situation of sin."

The statement came after a handful of public challenges to Pope Francis' teaching and authority

The pope welcomed the news that La Civilta Cattolica will now be published in English.

Nous sommes tous des pèlerins en chemin, des pécheurs aimés qui répondons à l’appel entendu lors de notre baptême et qui continuons de l’entendre toute notre vie durant.

Pope Francis has invoked the civil rights crusader in three high-profile messages delivered during his pontificate.

A confident pope sets a new example for governing the church. For Francis, tension is a sign of life.

Some reactions to his apostolic exhortation, "Amoris Laetitia," continue to reflect a lack of understanding about how the Holy Spirit has been working in the church since the Second Vatican Council.

After not receiving a response from the pope, the cardinals released their letter to the public.

Todos nosotros somos imperfectos, pecadores amados que seguimos la llamada que oímos por primera vez en nuestros bautismos.
