Castel Gandolfo, Italy, Sep 30, 2012 \/ 01:19 pm (CNA\/EWTN News<\/a>).- Pope Benedict XVI says that Catholics should be delighted whenever non-Catholics do what is good or embrace what is true.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cMembers of the Church should not feel jealousy, but rejoice if someone from outside the community does good in the name of Christ, provided this is done with right intention and with respect,\u201d he said during his Sept. 30 Angelus address at Castel Gandolfo.<\/p>\n

\tThe Pope was reflecting on the Sunday Gospel, as recorded by St. Mark, in which \u201ca man, who was not the followers of Jesus had cast out demons in his name\u201d when \u201cthe Apostle John, young and zealous, wants to stop him, but Jesus will not allow him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tSeveral thousand pilgrims gathered at the papal summer residence of Castel Gandolfo for the Angelus, where they heard the Pope remind them of the words of the 4-5th century Doctor of the Church, St. Augustine: \u201cJust as one can find that which is not Catholic in the Catholic Church \u2013 that is, in the Church \u2013 one can also find something that may be Catholic outside of the Catholic Church.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tThis, the Pope said, is what Jesus wishes to explain to his disciples, that \u201cgood and even miraculous things\u201d can happen outside their circle when others \u201ccooperate with the Kingdom of God\u201d even in small gestures such as \u201coffering a simple glass of water to a missionary.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tThe same tendency towards jealousy can also exist, observed Pope Benedict, within the Church when Catholics resent holiness and goodness being attained co-religionists.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cInstead we should all be able to always appreciate and respect each other, praising the Lord for the infinite \u2018fantasy\u2019 with which he acts in the Church and in the world,\u201d advised the Pope.<\/p>\n

\tHe also touched upon the Second Reading from today\u2019s Mass in which St. James rebukes those who \u201ctrust in the riches accumulated by dint of oppression.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\u201cThe words of the apostle James,\u201d said the Pope, are a warning against the \u201cvain desire for material goods.\u201d Instead they are a \u201cpowerful call\u201d to use wealth \u201cin the perspective of solidarity and the common good, always acting with fairness and morality, at all level.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tIn conclusion, Pope Benedict commended all those present to the Blessed Virgin Mary so that all Catholics may \u201crejoice in every good gesture and initiative, without envy or jealously.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tHe then led the faithful in the traditional midday Marian prayer before addressing pilgrims in their various native languages and imparting his apostolic blessing.<\/p>\n
