Pope tells new archbishops, cardinals not to be 'armchair Catholics,' but apostles

Pope Francis talks with Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin of Newark, N.J., as he stands with archbishops at the conclusion of a Mass marking the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican June 29. New archbishops from around the world received their palliums from the pope. The actual imposition of the pallium will take place in the archbishop's archdiocese.

VATICAN CITY – The Catholic Church's new cardinals and new archbishops must be willing to risk everything, patiently endure evil and bear crosses like Jesus did, Pope Francis said.
