None of us should look at others from top to bottom. We can, yes, we can look at a person like this only when we help them get up.'<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The pope recalled that<strong> the Church grows when it serves<\/strong>, when it goes out of itself to help others, when it is a missionary.

Little by little there is less room for others, for the ecclesial community, for the poor, to listen to the voice of the Lord.'<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Then one-by-one, Pope Francis called them to<strong> <\/strong>give them the ring, the biretta and the document assigned to them as an honorary title by a church in Rome.<\/p>\n<p>Among the ceremony participants were people from the home countries of the new cardinals.
