“Regarding his homilies, they are not given from a written text but
spontaneously and in Italian, a language that the Pope knows well but which
isn't his mother tongue. A 'complete' publication, therefore, would
necessarily entail a
transcription and a reworking of the text at various points, given that the
written form is different from the spoken one, which in this case is the
original form chosen intentionally by the Holy Father. In short, it would
entail editing by the Holy
Father himself, but the result would clearly be 'something else', which isn't

Pope's homilies available without changing their nature. The Vatican's
newspaper, “L'Osservatore Romano” as well as

broadcasts a brief video that corresponds to the paragraphs chosen by Vatican
Radio. He also noted that the difference between the Pope's public and private
activities must be
recognized. In the former, Pope Francis' complete texts are released, while in
the latter it is necessary to “respect the particular character of the
situation, the spontaneity and familiarity of the Holy Father's expressions.
The solution that
was chosen respects, above all, the Pope's wishes and the nature of the
morning celebrations while, at the same time, allowing a wide public to have
access to the main messages that the Holy Father
offers the faithful in those circumstances.”
