Pope: Don’t let tattoos scare you WORD UP At a Vatican Pre-Synodal meeting with more than 300 attendees, Pope Fran- cis has asked priests not to fear tattoos, but rather to use them to encourage dialogue when ministering to young men and women. Compiled by Jake Fortune / STAFF WRITER These comments were made during a question-and-answer session at which the pope discussed issues facing younger generations of Catholics. He also pointed out Etriteans had made tattoos of crosses on their foreheads for years Missions get momentary monicker as symbols of their dedication to Christ. The San Antonio Missions minor league baseball team will become the “Tattoos often signify membership in a community,” the pope said. Flying Chanclas de San Antonio for nine games this season.
