31 December 201918.21 "Rome is not only a complicated city, with corruption", it is also a city whose inhabitants "believe, hope and fight for the good of all". Pope Francis said so, celebrating the Te Deum. "The beating heart" of Rome is made up of the "people of the little and poor". "God chooses them, makes them supportive, pushes them to build bridges, not walls," he says. He urges the Church of Rome to "jump into the fray", so "new air circulates, the fences are overcome". And God "does not change history through the powerful, but from the peripheries".
