|||Vatican City - While Pope Francis has made no secret of his love of choirs, he has revealed why he may not always join in.
The pontiff told an audience of 6 000 young international choir singers on Thursday that “I like to hear singing. But if I would sing, it would seem like a donkey.”
Francis took questions from the youths, telling them that his childhood aspiration was to become a butcher and acknowledging he sometimes gets angry - “but I don’t bite.”
The choristers’ organization, Pueri Cantores, has been holding its annual meeting in Rome this week. Some members will participate in New Year’s Day Mass in St Peter’s Basilica.
