Pope Francis delivered two Christmas messages at the Vatican on 
Saturday, warning against gossip’s “destructive effects” while 
celebrating the importance of family life and humble service.

“An ecclesial community lives in joyful and fraternal harmony to the 
extent that its members walk in the way of humility, refusing to think 
and speak ill of one another,” the pope said in his annual Christmas 
address to the Roman Curia on Dec. 21.

The pope warned that gossip “damages social bonds, poisons hearts, and 
leads nowhere,” as he addressed cardinals and senior Vatican officials. 
He urged them to practice self-accusation rather than accusation of 
others, drawing on the teachings of early Christian spiritual masters.

The pontiff has the knack for saying, if not always doing the right thing
