A Woman Who Doesn’t Gossip Is A Hero, But Nuns Must Avoid Gossiping – Pope Francis

Pope Francis has come out to urge nuns with unfriendly faces to steer clear of gossiping.

He recently had his say while speaking to a group of Dominican nuns from the Union of St Catherine of Siena of the Missionaries, and the world has been reacting.

According to him, such nuns should distance themselves from tales and adopt a lifestyle that is friendly and loving towards everyone because angry faces will not help bring people to the church.

Pope added that asking a woman not to gossip is heroic, but he needs nuns to run far away from such bad habit.

His words, “Many times in my life, I have encountered nuns with a vinegar face, and this is not friendly. This is not something that helps to attract people.

Please, distance yourself from gossip.

Gossip kills, gossip poisons. Please, no gossiping among you, none. And to ask this of a woman is heroic but, come on, let’s move forward and no gossip.

Please, speak with everyone except the Devil.

The Devil enters the community, he sees the jealousies, all those things that belong to all humans, not just women, everyone, that’s where the Devil goes. No dialogue with the Devil, understood? We don’t speak with the Devil.”

WOW.
