Devoting his weekly audience to the relationship between generations, Pope Francis offered some wise words on mothers-in-laws: 'I'm not saying we see her as the devil, but she is always presented in a pejorative way'
Devoting his weekly audience to the relationship between generations, the Pope turned family counsellor and offered some wise words on mothers-in-laws:"I'm not saying we see her as the devil, but she is always presented in a pejorative way."Be kind to your mother-in-law, often the victim of"cliches", Pope Francis has urged Catholics.
Devoting his general audience to the relationship between generations, the Pope, 85, said:"I'm not saying we see her as the devil, but she is always presented in a pejorative way. But the mother-in-law is the mother of your husband and the mother of your wife.""They gave birth to your spouse," he told the assembled crowds in St Peter's Square at the Vatican on Wednesday."At least make them happy.
It is not the first time he has touched on the subject. In 2015, Pope Francis sparked laughter on a visit to the US when he told a crowd:"Families quarrel and sometimes plates can fly and children bring headaches, and I won't speak about mother-in-laws." He held his general audience at the Vatican a day after a flare-up of knee pain forced him to cancel all activities.
