From Vatican Insider:
In his homily – Vatican Radio reports – the Pope commented on the reading in which Peter and John courageously testify the faith before Jewish leaders despite the threats made against them, while in the Gospel, the Risen Jesus condemns the apostles’ disbelief. So the Pope asked this question: “How is our faith going? Is it strong? Or is it sometimes a little bit superficial?” When the going gets tough “are we courageous like Peter or a bit lukewarm?” Peter – he pointed out– did not keep his faith on the low and did not make any compromises because** “faith cannot be negotiated.”** “Throughout history, the people of God have always been tempted to chop a piece off faith,” the Pope said. More or less everyone is tempted “not to be too rigid.” “But when we start to cut down on faith, to negotiate faith, selling it to the highest bidder – he emphasised – we take the path of apostasy, we begin to lack faith, lack faith in the Lord.”
