Addressing the faithful at his Wednesday general audience, Pope Francis said that in “thinking about the Church we are still too Eurocentric. In reality, the Church is much larger than Rome and the West and more alive.” The pope said he wanted to take stock of the twelve days he spent in Asia and stressed the specific character of these visits, which are journeys “to bring the word of the Lord, to make him known, and also to get to know the souls of the peoples, which is a very beautiful experience.”
