"Triumphalism in the Church halts the Church. The triumphalism of us Christians halts Christians. A triumphalist Church is a half-way Church". A Church content with being "well organized and with... everything lovely and  efficient", but which denied the martyrs would be "a Church which thought only of  triumphs and successes; which did not have Jesus’ rule of triumph through failure. Human failure, the failure of the cross. And this is a temptation to us all". Pope Francis, homily, May 29, 2013 >>>
