Don't be a defeated Christian, says Francis

January 20, 2014

There are too many "defeated Christians" in the Church who do not fully believe in the faith handed down to them by way of tradition and who do not completely trust in God, Pope Francis said.

If Christians don't believe and live the faith as a victorious mover of mountains, then "there is only defeat, and the prince of the world conquers the world," the pope said during morning Mass Jan. 10.
