The Asian Church is called to be “versatile and creative”, aware of its own Christian identity.

SEOUL: The Asian Church is called to be “versatile and creative”, aware of its own Christian identity. Dialogue, openness and empathy towards others are inherent in Christian identity. And this makes one receptive and able to listen. Pope Francis addressed seventy Asian bishops at the shrine of Haemi, where he gave the most important speech of his Korean visit, especially thanks to his customary deviations from the prepared text.

Francis chose not to sit in the throne that had been prepared for him on a raised platform. Instead he approached the microphone and lectern on the same level as the bishops’ seats. At one point the lectern collapsed and the Pope joked: “My speech has taken nose-dive”.--Vatican Insider
