No one should take God
as a pretext to raise walls, Pope Francis said Thursday.
"Our closeness to the people entrusted to us is not an
opportunist strategy, but our essential condition," Francis told
a group of bishops ordained over the last year.
"It's up to us that no one should feel God is far away, that
no one should take God as a pretext to raise walls, demolish
bridges and spread hatred.
"It is bad when a bishop raises walls, demolishes bridges and
behaves like a counter-bishop".
