Make a mess

I’m a fan.
In but four months, Pope Francis has given more relevance to Christianity than his predecessors have done in 40 years. At least he has given Christianity back its spirit. The Christ of the Bible was one who walked with fishermen and at least one well-known prostitute, spoke with beggars and lepers, and preached to rabble and rabbi. That’s what Pope Francis has been doing these past months, sans the company of a well-known prostitute.
He ended his visit to Brazil last week by going down to the slums of Varhinha, known as Rio’s Gaza Strip for its scale of criminality and violence. He told the horde huddled there in the rain and cold: “No one can remain insensitive to the inequalities that persist in the world. No amount of peace-building will be able to last, nor will harmony and happiness be attained in a society that ignores, pushes to the margins or excludes a part of itself.”
Sometime later, in a chance encounter with the Argentine youth who had gone there to attend a conference, he exclaimed: “I want to tell you something. What is it that I expect as a consequence of World Youth Day? I want a mess. We knew that in Rio there would be great disorder, but I want trouble in the dioceses! I want to see the Church get closer to the people. I want to get rid of clericalism, the mundane, this closing ourselves off within ourselves, in our parishes, schools or structures. [We] need to get out!”
The first thing I thought of when I read this was not about our own bishops. That was only second. But of course you cannot escape that thought, too, given the contrast between their lifestyle and the Pope’s, between their evangelical stance and the Pope’s, between their thinking and the Pope’s.
