Saints are people too..

The Pope in his address to an audience of 6,000 yesterday, reminds us that even the Saints have weaknesses too.

"Even among saints differences, discord and controversies arise," the Pope observed. That fact is a source of “consolation,” he added, because ordinary Christians, conscious of their own sinfulness, can realize that the saints had their own weaknesses.

Silas was apparently a skillful mediator between Christians of Jewish ancestry and those from the Gentiles, the Pope continued. And Apollos was “a cultured man, well versed in the Scriptures.” As St. Paul wrote to the Corinthians, “All have different tasks in the fields of the Lord.”

The Pope concluded with the observation that St. Paul’s observation on the diversity of gifts is equally valid in the Church today.
