Cardinal Gambetti, archpriest of St. Peter's Basilica, celebrated Mass for the feast of the Body and Blood of Christ, led the #CorpusChristi procession, adoration and Benediction at the Vatican this morning. (Italy celebrates the feast Sunday.)
General Audience June 15: @Pontifex speaks about 'throwaway culture' and the elderly. 'A society truly welcomes life when it recognizes that it is also precious in old age, in disability, in serious illness and even when it is fading.'
#Pope: Throwaway culture wants "to cancel the elderly as if they are a burden...This is a betrayal of humanity itself, it is ugly, it is selecting the value of life according to one's usefulness or youth.
