Pope says synod should lead Church to abandon old nets

(ANSA) - Vatican City, October 7 - Pope Francis said Wednesday that the ongoing synod of bishops on the family should lead the Catholic Church to leave behind its "old nets". "May the enthusiasm of the synod fathers, animated by the Spirit, foment the impulse of a Church that abandons its old nets and starts fishing," the pope said in his general audience. http://popefrancisnewsapp.com/
