In his latest criticism of conservative Catholics in the US, Pope Francis told a “60 Minutes” interviewer that conservatism is a “suicidal attitude.”
In an interview that will be broadcast on the CBS show on May 19, the Pope responded to a question about his critics by saying that a conservative “clings to something and does not want to see beyond that.” He added that “one thing is to take tradition into account, to consider situations from the past, but quite another is to be closed up inside a dogmatic box.”
