Pope Francis has strongly outlined anew a comprehensive vision for the
future of the Catholic church, forcefully telling an emblematic meeting
of the entire Italian church community here that our times require a
deeply merciful Catholicism that is unafraid of change.
In a 49-minute speech to a decennial national conference of the Italian church -- which is bringing together some 2,200 people from 220 dioceses to this historic renaissance city for five days -- Francis said Catholics must realize: "We are not living an era of change but a change of era."
