In his interview to the Italian newspaper Il Messaggero, Pope Francis, clearly in a romantic mood, deified women.

“Women are what God made finest. The Church is a woman. The Church is a feminine word. You can not do theology without femininity, “said the head of the Roman Catholic Church.

The Pontiff, however, talked about pedophilia and corruption, saying that elderly people who choose to have sex with girls under 15 are pedophiles.

As for corruption, Pope Francis said it’s hard to stay honest in politics.

At the same time, after his meeting with the official delegation of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, he urged the faithful to pray for him and his mission.

“We all need to be open to the actions of the Holy Spirit,” said the Pontiff after the end of the meeting, recalling that his predecessors, John Paul II and Pope Benedict have contributed significantly towards the union of Christians.
