'Sins of division are the devil's work'

(ANSA) - Vatican City, August 27 - Division among Christians is a sin, Pope Francis warned Wednesday during his weekly general audience in St. Peter's Square.
    "Sins against unity among Christians are the work of the devil," Francis told some 12,000 faithful.
    These include historical divisions such as religious schisms that led to wars, but also local, parochial divisions fed by envy, jealousy, and gossip, said the pope.
    "The devil is he who separates, ruins relationships and insinuates prejudice," said the pontiff.
    The pope travelled during the summer, including a recent trip to South Korea, which meant some of his regular Wednesday general audiences were cancelled.
    Two other audiences were held indoors in the Vatican's Paul VI Hall. http://popefrancisnewsapp.com/
