Honduran
cardinal: Church must be transparent, evangelization comes first
H.E. CARD. RODRIGUEZ MARADIAGA
Cardinal Oscar Andres Rodriguez
Maradiaga of Tegucigalpa, Honduras, has said that the Church should continue to
root out corruption and abuse “because it is written in the Gospels that the
truth shall set you free.”
Speaking
to reporters in Rome, the Honduran cardinal said that the work begun by Pope
Benedict XVI to purge the Church of “filth” must be continued. “We must present
a Church with a transparent face, one that is at peace and at ease,” he said.
Speaking separately to Vatican Radio, Cardinal Rodriguez, who is regarded as
one of the leading papabili,
said that the Church must be prepared to concentrate on the essential task of
evangelization. “Pope Paul VI used to say, the Church exists to evangelize,”
the cardinal said.
