The faith reaches the peripheries of the world by the attraction of love. That’s why Pope Francis has recommended that we all embark on a “revolution of tenderness”. Priests have a special role in this revolution, by loving and teaching others to love. They do so by the virtue of chastity, "a sign of purity in relationships and in the gift of self", as the "Ratio Fundamentalis Institutionis Sacerdotalis" (no. 21) has put it.
