Pope Francis warns priests and seminarians against worldly temptations

Vatican City, Mar 30, 2021 / 05:00 am (CNA).- Pope Francis told priests on Monday that “spiritual worldliness” is one of the worst temptations in clerical life.

“Today’s problems demand that we priests conform to the Lord,” the pope said in an audience with students of the Pontifical Mexican College at the Vatican on March 29.

“We are called not to underestimate the worldly temptations that can lead to insufficient personal knowledge, self-referential attitudes, consumerism, and multiple forms of evasion of our responsibilities. … Please beware of worldliness. It is the door to corruption,” Pope Francis said.

Praise the Lord
