"When you say that the Church is 'Catholic' and 'Apostolic' it means that it is 'universal' and 'missionary', 'outgoing', as were the apostles. This means 'taking to heart the salvation of all mankind', 'having a sense of the fullness, completeness, harmony of Christian life' and 'being aware that our faith is anchored to the same proclamation and witness of the apostles'. These were Pope Francis reflections today at his General Audience dedicated to the Church."
"The Pope toured at length among the 30 thousand people in St Peter's Square, stopping to accept even a sip of mate. Speaking to them Francis also pointed out the value of the work of missionaries. 'Let us give thanks to the Lord because our Church has many missionaries, has had many missionary and still needs more.'"
A recent AsiaNews article reported on the Pope'e general audience on Wednesday (17 September), an audience in which Poe Francis explained what "catholic" and "apostolic" - in the Creed - mean.
