"Lukewarm Christians hurt the Church"

"When the Church loses courage, the Church enters into a ‘lukewarm’ atmosphere. The lukewarm, lukewarm Christians, without courage...

"That hurts the Church so much, because this tepid atmosphere draws you inside, and problems arise among us; we no longer have the horizon, or courage to pray towards heaven, or the courage to proclaim the Gospel. We are lukewarm...

"We have the courage to get involved in our small things in our jealousies, our envy, our careerism, in selfishly going forward... In all these things, but this is not good for the Church: the Church must be courageous! 

(Pope Francis, May 3, 2013)
