CHURCH NEEDS BELIEVERS WITH ZEAL
Church needs believers with zeal, not couch-potato Catholics, pope says
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- The church doesn't need couch-potato Catholics, it needs believers with "apostolic zeal," willing to preach the uncomfortable words of Christ, Pope Francis said.
"And if we annoy people" with this zeal for Christ, then "blessed be the Lord," he said in his daily morning Mass homily May 16.
