An interview with Cardinal Leonardi Sandri, the prefect of the Vatican’s Congregation for the Oriental Churches

A number of the cardinal’s public statements on the liturgy and other topics reflected a pre-Vatican II traditionalist outlook that at times openly contrasted with the direction given by Pope Francis.

God’s forgiveness, offered also through our words and actions, enables us to experience an Easter of fraternity.

The person who prays is like someone in love who always bears the beloved in his or her heart wherever they go.

In his address to Vatican ambassadors, Pope Francis said that the pandemic “set before us a choice: either to continue on the road we have followed until now or to set out on a new path.”

Pope Francis today expressed his “live concern” at the recent developments in Myanmar where the military has seized power, overthrowing the results of the recent election.
