My Way News - New style of papacy: Pope Francis pays hotel bill
My Way News reports: "Speaking off-the-cuff for 10 minutes in easy Italian, he said all Catholics must 'build' the church and 'walk' with the faith. He urged priests to build their churches on solid foundations, warning: 'What happens when children build sand castles on the beach? It all comes down.' 'If we don't proclaim Jesus, we become a pitiful NGO, not the bride of the Lord,' he said. 'When we walk without the cross, and when we preach about Christ without the cross, we are not disciples of the Lord. We are mundane. We are bishops, priests, cardinals, popes, but we are not disciples of the Lord.'"

Comment: This is a very encouraging statement from the new pope.
