Popiełuszko was assassinated in 1984 by the Soviet regime and Pope Francis, greeting the Poles present at the weekly catechesis, did not miss the opportunity to remember this figure.
POPE FRANCIS
May this Blessed, who taught to overcome evil with good, sustain you in building unity in the spirit of truth and respect for the dignity of the human person.
Minutes earlier the Pope had resumed his weekly catechesis. He recalled how differences among Christians can be overcome.
POPE FRANCIS
I like to say this “reconciled differences”. Among Christians there are many differences… this one is from that school, that one is from that school, that one is Protestant, that one is…. But the important thing is that these differences are reconciled in the love of walking together.
Pope Francis also reflected on how internal problems in the Church throughout history also served to deepen faith.
