Pope Francis told members and staff of the Dicastery for Communication that the Vatican and the Catholic Church need their expertise to share the Gospel. Still, he also asked them to find creative ways to do it while cutting their expenses.
“I dream of a communication that is heart to heart, letting ourselves be touched by what is human, letting ourselves be wounded by the dramas that so many of our brothers and sisters live,” the pope said Oct 31 at the end of the dicastery’s plenary meeting.
In addition to listing a variety of “dreams” for how the Vatican’s vast communications apparatus would inform people, shine a spotlight on truth and share stories of faith, Pope Francis added to his prepared remarks.
