Did Pope Francis say that the Gospel is radical?
Upvote:3
I can't see anything quite like this in the context of Amoris Laetitia, but the pope has used the words together a few times. According to the English-language version of the Vatican Radio website, he preached a homily from his residence in Santa Marta on 23 September 2014 in which he spoke about "the Gospel's call to radical simplicity in life and action". Similarly, in a homily preached for the 6th Asian Youth Day in Korea on 16 August 2014 (PDF), he spoke about "the radical demands of the Gospel". I can't find much else using precisely those words in documents published by the Pope, and nothing about interviews in which he used those words (though that is a more difficult search, especially with off-the-cuff remarks).
Francis was not the first to use "radical" in speaking about the Gospel, though; Pope St John Paul II mentioned the "radicalism of the Gospel" in his 1992 apostolic exhortation Pastores Dabo Vobis, and Pope Benedict XVI spoke of the "radical call of the Gospel" in an address to the bishops of Bangladesh during their ad limina visit in 2008.
