Don't be snooty, shake your booty! In this Vatican Insider article from Tuesday, Francis encourages Catholics to "come out of their shell" and to dance in front of the Lord. Apparently this was the set-up for the news that he would be attending the Catholic Charismatic Renewal in Rome this June, as reported Thursday by Novus Ordo Watch. Francis didn't neglect to address the traditionalists, though. Near the end of the article, he is quoted thus: “Those, who are closed in the formality of a prayer that is cold, stingy, might end up as Michal, in the sterility of her formality.” Those trads! They just won't tango!
