Online meeting of the Council of cardinals. Speaking about the Synod, the Pope made it clear that at the heart of the reflection is not so much the deepening of this or that issue as learning a way of living the Church, particularly in the face of clericalism and rigidity. pic.twitter.com/MeH9PiQ5an
