Pope Francis Hears Confessions at Rome Parish


In an article written by Sandro Magister of chiesa.espressonline.it, he noted some new things Pope Francis has done compared to recent Popes, some sort of personal style he brings being Jorge Mario Bergoglio and the Pope.  


First, he wrote that he was "highly sensitive about the baptism of children."  Next was that he improvised and went to talk to the children during the homily, well, probably in this particular instance.  And another is about the sacrament of penance.  

In Magister's words, "Francis, however, wanted to hear confessions in the parish, right before Mass. He gave a good example to priests and faithful. He wanted to make visible the connection between confession and communion, which must be received only when one is 'in the grace of God.'”


I connected the dots, first from Fr. Z's blog and then his link led me to chiesa.espressonline.it.  Thank you both for the good news.
