from 220 dioceses to this historic renaissance city for five days &#8211; Francis said Catholics must realize: &#8220;We are not living an era of change but a change of era.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Before the problems of the church it is not useful to search for solutions in conservatism or fundamentalism, in the restoration of obsolete conduct and forms that no longer have the capacity of being significant culturally,&#8221; the pontiff said at one point during his remarks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Christian doctrine is not a closed system incapable of generating questions, doubts, interrogatives &#8212; but is alive, knows being unsettled, enlivened,&#8221; said the pope. &#8220;It has a face that is not rigid, it has a body that moves and grows, it has a soft flesh: it is called Jesus Christ.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Read the fine report by Josh McElwee at NCR <a
