Francis: Ten Minutes Of Silence During Private Meetings
La-Croix.com (19 December) reports on these meetings, which are never on his public schedule:
"Sometimes Francis doesn't say anything for ten minutes," relates one of Francis' closest confidants. "He stops and prays, in front of [his visitors], in silence. And then he tells them what he feels about God." When asked the reason for his actions or words, he replies, " That's what I sense."
In better times, popes used their minds to think and speak, not their gut feelings.
