Pope Francis delivered two Christmas messages at the Vatican on
Saturday, warning against gossipâs âdestructive effectsâ while
celebrating the importance of family life and humble service.
âAn ecclesial community lives in joyful and fraternal harmony to the
extent that its members walk in the way of humility, refusing to think
and speak ill of one another,â the pope said in his annual Christmas
address to the Roman Curia on Dec. 21.
The pope warned that gossip âdamages social bonds, poisons hearts, and
leads nowhere,â as he addressed cardinals and senior Vatican officials.
He urged them to practice self-accusation rather than accusation of
others, drawing on the teachings of early Christian spiritual masters.

The pontiff has the knack for saying, if not always doing the right thing
