Pope Francis was greeted with rounds of applause by the leaders of various Catholic lay movements gathered at the Vatican.<\/p>\n
The Pope addressed the group on responsible government of religious movements, only days after a Vatican mandate limiting how they are internally governed went into effect. <\/p>\n
POPE FRANCIS<\/strong> In June, the Vatican limited governing positions of lay movements to five-year terms that can only be renewed once, and all members of each group must be involved in their election. <\/p>\n Millions of Catholics around the world live out their faith in these groups comprised of lay people who are joined by a shared devotion, way of life, or works of charity. <\/p>\n POPE FRANCIS<\/strong> The meeting was organized by the Dicastery for the Laity, Family, and Life, and gave the Pope a chance to explain the Vatican's rationale for the changes which went into effect on September 11. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n JM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" September 16, 2021.

\nThe governance of these associations and movements is a topic that is particularly close to my heart, especially considering\u2014that which I said earlier\u2014the cases of abuse of different natures that have been confirmed in these contexts, and that always have their roots in the abuse of power. <\/em><\/p>\n
\nObserving closely your situations has shown that it is beneficial and necessary to create a rotation in the positions of government and a representation of all members in your elections. <\/em><\/p>\n
