Pope tells people to stop using useless, silly adjectives

The Pope really is not a fan of adjectives.
Hes so fed up with them, he said I am allergic to those words in a speech yesterday.
But Pope Francis is much more keen on nouns and thinks theyre massively underrated.
Speaking to the Vaticans communications team, he said: We have fallen into the culture of adjectives and adverbs, and we have forgotten the strength of nouns.
One adjective that really grinds his gears is the word authentic.
He said: Why say authentically Christian? It is Christian! The mere fact of the noun Christian, I am Christ is strong: it is an adjective noun, yes, but it is a noun.
The communicator must make people understand the weight of the reality of nouns that reflect the reality of people.
