German bishops assure Vatican but vow to proceed with reform: Pope
(Yonhap)
Pope Francis has told the bishops’ body in Rome that they should prepare for the next stage of the church’s reform.
He told them that they should “prepare the way for a future of more justice and more love” at the general assembly of the U.N. General Assembly in New York next month.
“We’ve been talking a lot about justice, more justice. We’ve been talking a lot about love, more love,” Francis said Friday.
He said what’s happening now is a “movement of transformation” that must include a “renewal” of the church – something that Pope Benedict XVI said he agreed with.
Pope Francis, who is scheduled to visit Poland next week, said it would be wrong to have the next general assembly take place before the “renewal” of the church is complete.

The journey to reform begins before the reform is completed,” he told reporters on the sidelines of a prayer meeting in Krakow.
