In a wide-ranging interview, Pope Francis has spoken about sexual abuse, the Society of St Pius X and clericalising laity by making them deacons.
Pope Francis told French newspaper La Croix that it is often a mistake to “clericalise” talented laity by turning them into deacons.
“In Buenos Aires, I have known many good priests who, seeing a capable lay person, immediately exclaimed ‘Let’s make him a deacon’,” Francis said.
“No, you must let the lay person be lay.”
