Pope Francis at Madison Square Garden | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: While the Mass is the penultimate act of the Catholic Church, it is nothing if not a spur to action in the larger world, not to Christianize it, but to care for it in the most basic ways. That has been Francis' message on this journey (and all of his journeys), but this time he put in the Homily.  New York is a city of great grandeur, as the Mass showed, but it is also as the Pope describes it - which demands service, not piety.
