- The pope told some 230 Italian Catholic hair cutters, stylists and beauticians on a group pilgrimage to Rome to avoid the temptation of gossip.
Pope Francis has often warned against gossiping among friends and neighbors, but now he says it should also be avoided in those modern temples of cheap talk: beauty parlors and hair salons.
The pope exhorted some 230 Italian Catholic hair cutters, stylists and beauticians — on a group pilgrimage to Rome — to "avoid falling into the temptation of gossip that is easily associated with your work."
Instead, they should pursue their profession "with Christian style, treating clients with gentleness and courtesy, offering them always a good word and encouragement," he said.
