Pope Francis Urges Unity and Focus on the Poor Amid Church Divisions ✝️

Pope Francis warns against ideological splits in the Church, says focus on the poor, not 'theory'

Amid resistance to some Vatican policy by more conservative factions of the Catholic church, Pope Francis on Saturday cautioned the faithful against fracturing into groups “based on our own ideas."

He issued the call to abandon “ecclesiastical ideologies” in his homily in St. Peter's Basilica during Epiphany Day Mass, the last major Christmas season holiday.

Francis also warned against “basking in some elegant religious theory” instead of finding God in the faces of the poor.
