The "harmony" that
characterised the life of early Christians is not to be confused
with the "negotiated tranquillity" that often "conceals
conflicts and internal divisions", Pope Francis said on Tuesday.
True harmony "has a very strong relationship with money.
Money is the enemy of harmony, money is selfish," the pope told
faithful gathered for Mass at the Santa Marta guesthouse.
"For this reason the sign (of harmony) is that each person
gave so no-one would be in need," he added.
Indeed, the early Christian community could be
distinguished by its "one heart, one spirit, no poor, goods that
are distributed according to need", the pope said.
