Pope Francis celebrates the 10th anniversary of his election Monday, far outpacing the 'two or three' years he once envisioned for his papacy and showing no signs of slowing down.
Pope Francis celebrates the 10th anniversary of his election Monday, far outpacing the "two or three" years he once envisioned for his papacy and showing no signs of slowing down.On the contrary, with an agenda full of problems and plans and no longer encumbered by the shadow of Pope Benedict XVI, Francis, 86, has backed off from talking about retiring and recently described the papacy as a job for life.
"That was my conversion," he told the AP. "That's when the bomb went off, when I saw the corruption of many bishops in this." The synods held during his first 10 years produced some of the most significant, and controversial, moments of his papacy. Francis justified his move by saying Benedict's decision to liberalize the celebration of the old Mass had become a source of division in parishes. But traditionalists took the renewed restrictions as an attack on orthodoxy, one that they saw as contradicting Francis' "all are welcome" mantra.
