Pope Francis issued the stark warning to staff while speaking today in the Sala Clementina, Vatican City

Leader of the Roman Catholic church urged his followers to embrace change and his attempts at reform

Papacy has been rocked by historical sex abuse claims and financial scandals this year 

Pope Francis has used his Christmas message to warn followers that rigidly following the Christian faith is creating a 'minefield' of hate and misunderstanding.

The head of the Roman Catholic church spoke candidly to cardinals, bishops, priests and members of staff in the Sala Clementina in the Apostolic Palace, Vatican City, today as he also sought to remind them that the church no longer enjoys the authority it once did. 

The papacy has been rocked by historical sex abuse claims and financial scandals this year.

And the Pope's leadership has been challenged after he called for married men to be ordained as priests, and was seen with a 'pagan' statue of a pregnant woman while in the Amazon.
