The word catholic means universal. Which is very often followed by a sentence: 'All roads lead to Rome' / 'Every river ends up into the ocean'. A classic metaphor to all kind of seekers. Which is drenched/shrouded within one of the primary colors yellow, a symbolic representative for light/prosperity. Europe with its elegance/strength in its exquisite taste, never fails to attract creative/lustful seekers to its abundant bounty of possibilities. So a 'Pope': 'Person of prophetic eminence' guides/shows a path ahead, for some soul seekers, to be merged with the divine omnipresent/omnipotence.
A speech Pope Francis gave in his homily / sermon. Worth reflecting / remembering the difference between respecting individuals than their representatives called organisations/institutions. Check their collective action on ground reality, against their carved ideologies etched into stones / esteemed branded logos, in contract to their 'free' wordy pearls of 'collective' wisdom.

*You can have flaws, be anxious, and even be angry, but do not forget that your life is the greatest enterprise in the world. Only you can stop it from going bust. Many appreciate you, admire you and love you. Remember that to be happy is not to have a sky without a storm, a road without accidents, work without fatigue, relationships without disappointments. To be happy is to find strength in forgiveness, hope in battles, security in the stage of fear, love in discord. It is not only to enjoy the smile, but also to reflect on the sadness. It is not only to celebrate the successes, but to learn lessons from the failures. It is not only to feel happy with the applause, but to be happy in anonymity. Being happy is not a fatality of destiny, but an achievement for those who can travel within themselves. To be happy is to stop feeling like a victim and become your destiny's author. It is to cross deserts, yet to be able to find an oasis in the depths of our soul. It is to thank God for every morning, for the miracle of life. Being happy is not being afraid of your own feelings. It's to be able to talk about you. It is having the courage to hear a "no". It is confidence in the face of criticism, even when unjustified. It is to kiss your children, pamper your parents, to live poetic moments with friends, even when they hurt us. To be happy is to let live the creature that lives in each of us, free, joyful and simple. It is to have maturity to be able to say: "I made mistakes". It is to have the courage to say "I am sorry". It is to have the sensitivity to say, "I need you". It is to have the ability to say "I love you". May your life become a garden of opportunities for happiness ... That in spring may it be a lover of joy. In winter a lover of wisdom. And when you make a mistake, start all over again. For only then will you be in love with life. You will find that to be happy is not to have a perfect life. But use the tears to irrigate tolerance. Use your losses to train patience. Use your mistakes to sculptor serenity. Use pain to plaster pleasure. Use obstacles to open windows of intelligence. Never give up. Never give up on people who love you. Never give up on happiness, for life is an incredible show.*
(Pope Francis).
