Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - Vatican City, October 22 - Pope Francis called on worshippers to appreciate "the gifts of others" and to not be "envious" during a general audience Wednesday. The pontiff told the crowd in St. Peter's Square to guard against "divisions", "jealousies", and "incomprehensions" that "shatter the Church" in a nod to St. Paul's Epistles to the Corinthians.
    Francis also warned against feeling superior to others and "having an acid heart, that instead of blood seems to drink vinegar".
    The pope included the Catholic Church itself in his invocation to "not be jealous, but to appreciate the gifts and qualities of the brothers".
