The head of the Catholic Church has issued very strong words against the
Vatican's bureaucracy. At a Christmas meeting, he said members of the
clergy were "amassing material goods, not out of need, but to feel
safe." Pope Francis on Monday strongly criticized the Vatican's bureaucracy, saying the Roman Curia was ridden by disease.
Turning a meeting with the curia, which is traditionally used to exchange pre-Christmas greetings, he accused the cardinals, bishops and priests who serve him of using their careers at the Vatican to gain power and wealth and of living "hypocritical" double lives in "a parallel world, where they disregard all that they sternly teach to others, and they start living a life that is secret and often dissolute."
