(ANSA) - VATICAN CITY, NOV 13 - The Pope asks journalists who follow the Vatican to remember that "the Church is not a political organization that has right and left inside as happens in parliaments", "it is not a large multinational company with at the head of managers who study at the table how to better sell their product. The Church does not self-build on the basis of its own project, it does not draw from itself the strength to move forward and does not live on marketing strategies. Every time it falls into this temptation worldly, and many times it falls or has fallen, the Church, without realizing it, believes it has a light of its own ".
Then he thanked the press "for what you tell about what is wrong in the Church, for how much you help us not to hide it under the carpet and for the voice you have given to the diabetic victims. Thank you for this".
The Pope spoke to the journalists accredited by the Vatican on the occasion of the awarding of the honor to the 'deans' of the Vaticanists Valentina Alazraki and Phil Pullella.
