Unity, not uniformity, says pope

(ANSA) - Vatican City, October 31 - Pope Francis on Friday said unity was Christian but warned that uniformity was not.
    "Uniformity is not Catholic. It is not Christian," said the pope during a speech to the Catholic Fraternity in Vatican City.
    "The Holy Spirit makes both unity and diversity. This is curious, but it is this way," the pontiff continued.
    "In today's Gospel passage we have read at mass, there was this uniformity of these men, attached to the letter. One should not do so to such a point that a gentleman had to ask, 'But can you can do good on Saturdays or can you not?' This is the danger of uniformity," said the pope.
