    Roman Notebook: A homily that brought home what it is to forgive

    Pope Francis phones up Italian ice cream shop, thanking them for frozen treats

    • Aug 14, 2020

    It’s a poorly kept secret that Pope Francis has a sweet tooth, with a particular weakness when it comes to ice cream. So it shouldn’t have been surprising that the “cold-call pontiff” was at it again this week, to thank an ice cream shop for the gift of several pounds of Italian gelato.

    Today’s lesson from Rome is about perspective and patience

    • Aug 6, 2020
