Pope Leo calls for 'joyful Church' in Christmas address to Vatican cardinals | ABS-CBN News

Pope Leo indicated on Monday (December 22) that he plans to follow the reform agenda of his predecessor Francis, praising the late pontiff's attempts to make the global Catholic Church more inclusive in an annual Christmas address to Vatican cardinals.     Leo, the first U.S. pope, told the Church's senior-most officials that Francis, who died in April, had been a "prophetic voice" who struggled to create "a joyful Church, welcoming to all and attentive to the poorest".     Francis, who led the 1.4 billion member Church for 12 years, often used his annual Christmas speech with the cardinals to offer blistering critiques of their work.     In several lengthy speeches over the years, he listed what he called the "illnesses" and "diseases" of the Vatican's central bureaucracy, known as the Roman Curia.     Leo, who has a more diplomatic style than his Argentine predecessor, spoke for only 15 minutes and did not offer such critiques. But he did repeat many of the themes that became central to Francis' papacy.
