The first mass of Pope Prevost is underway in the Sistine Chapel. With Leo XIV they concelebrate all cardinals, voters and non -voters. The pontiff opened the homily with a brief introduction in English by arm. He then continued by reading the text in Italian.
“Even today there are not few contexts in which the Christian faith is considered an absurd thing, for weak and not very intelligent people; contexts in which other securities are preferred to it, such as technology, money, success, power, pleasure”, said Leo XIV by commenting on the Gospel in his first mass. “These are environments in which it is not easy to testify and announce the Gospel and where those who believe is derided, opposed, despised, or at most endured and compact”, he added.
“Even today there is no shortage of contexts in which Jesus, although appreciated as a man, is reduced only to a kind of charismatic leader or superman, and this not only among the non -believers, but also among many baptized, who end up living, at this level, in a de facto atheism,” he said.
