STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSVATICAN CITY - Pope Francis has lamented what he called a"reactionary" Catholic Church in the United States, where he said political ideology has replaced faith in some cases.
Francis made his comments on Aug. 5 in a private meeting in Lisbon with members of the Jesuit order, of which he is a member, during his trip for World Youth Day. They were published on Monday by the Jesuit journal Civilta Cattolica. "You have seen that in the United States the situation is not easy: there is a very strong reactionary attitude. It is organised and shapes the way people belong, even emotionally," the pope responded.
"You have been to the United States and you say you have felt a climate of closure. Yes, this climate can be experienced in some situations," Francis said.
