In his Christmas greetings to the employees of the Holy See, the 21 December, Pope Francis spoke of Our Lady and St. Joseph in the Nativity scene as “overflowing with holiness and therefore joy”.
He continued: “And you will tell me: by force! They are the Madonna and Saint Joseph! Yes, but we don't think it was easy for them: You are not born a saint, you become, and this applies to them too.”
According to Catholic doctrine, Our Lady was conceived without original sin and therefore born in holiness. Francesco is known for often speaking without thinking.
