Remešský arcibiskup: Papežova slova jsou velmi trefná, vedou k jádru víry

In brief

Archbishop Éric de Moulins Beaufort of Reims said the Pope's words are accurate and lead to the core of faith. He noted that the Church experiences poverty but also grace and joy through the reception of newly baptized members.

The archbishop identified a declining number of priests as a problem. He stated that a strength is young people who have a strong sense of Christ's presence, especially in the liturgy and sacraments.
