A papal call for mercy, and a warning against a 'closed caste' church

Pope Francis today delivered an impassioned defense of what has become a leitmotif of his pontificate – the church of mercy that reaches out to the marginalized vs. the church of rules that closes itself into a “closed caste.”
The pope’s homily was addressed to a group of new cardinals gathered for Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica.
