If you are a Catholic, be a Catholic- Pope Francis

Pope Francis has enjoined Catholics to adhere to the tenets of the faith.

He said it was better to be an atheist than to be a hypocritical Catholic.

In improvised comments in the sermon of his private morning mass in his residence, he said: “It is a scandal to say one thing and do another. That is a double life.''

“There are many Catholics who are like this and they cause scandal,” he said. “How many times have we all heard people say ‘if that person is a Catholic, it is better to be an atheist’.”
