Before priests, nuns drop 'gossip bombs,' - bite your tongue, Pope Francis commands

"daughter of the devil." that is what I was called... by the Nazareth house nuns... Ann
 ==================================
"Bite your tongue!" That is the orders of Pope Francis, who said that gossip loving priests and nuns are hindering their cause by the spreading of innuendos and gossip. The pontiff also bemoaned the drop-off in vocations but said those that the church takes must be serious and diligent about their missions.
Pope Francis addressed members of the clergy as he marked the end of the Year of Consecrated Life. In an improvised talk, the Pope warned priests and nuns not to "drop a gossip bomb." He also warned against those breaking their vow of obedience to get in order.
