Such a lecture around Christmas time is not a first for Francis, who has repeatedly addressed any moral and individual shortcomings that he believes are among the Vatican’s cardinals, bishops and bureaucrats. Francis said that the pride and self-interest of Vatican administrators and clergy, as well as the “glitter of our armor,” was compromising their spirituality and the church’s goals. The stone-faced expressions of the cardinals and bishops who attended Francis’ address were a contrast to the Christmas trees and poinsettias decorating the Hall of Blessings where he spoke....

The trailer paints the very different worlds the two men come from. Benedict is the ultimate Vatican insider: conservative, shut off from the progressive changes happening in the world. Cardinal Bergoglio is a simple priest, one connected with the regular people, who engages with the common person.

The Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops said in a statement Tuesday that Francis will visit with three groups—First Nations, Metis and Inuit—separately during a December 17 to 20 visit.

The discoveries—more than 600 graves in one school, 215 bodies in another—have revived calls, including from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, for the pope to make a formal apology....

Wheeler’s response: “No thanks,” and “Stay away please.” Early Friday afternoon, Trump tweeted, “Success: Since the National Guard moved into Kenosha, Wisconsin, two days ago, there has been NO FURTHER VIOLENCE, not even a small problem.
