This is not the first time that Francis has drawn attention to the persistence of Gnosticism and Pelagianism.

The call to holiness is at once personal and communal—pushing us to actively build the kingdom of God.

Stop trolling, resist gossiping and consider putting down your device altogether.

Francis' “modest goal” is “to re-propose the call to holiness in a practical way for our own time.”

“Rejoice and be glad!” is what Jesus said on the Sermon on the Mount. It’s also the title of Pope Francis’ new apostolic exhortation on holiness in everyday life.
