From Catholic News Service:
VATICAN CITY (CNS) — A bishop must be “blameless” and at the service of God, not of cliques, assets and power, especially if he is ever to “set right” what needs to be done for the church, Pope Francis said.
A bishop must always “correct himself and ask himself, ‘Am I a steward of God or a businessman?'” the pope said in his homily during Mass in the Domus Sanctae Marthae Nov. 12, the feast of St. Josaphat, 17th-century bishop and martyr. The Pope’s homily looked at the day’s first reading from St. Paul’s Letter to Titus (1:1-9) describing the qualities and role of a bishop. The apostle underlines how a bishop must be a steward or “administrator of God, not of assets, power and cliques,” the Pope said.
