Idolatry, then, is always polytheism, an aimless passing from one lord to another. Idolatry does not offer a journey but rather a plethora of paths leading nowhere and forming a vast labyrinth.
Pope Francis

More quotes by Pope Francis
If you withdraw into yourself, you run the risk of becoming egocentric. And stagnant water becomes putrid.
Pope Francis
These two criteria are like the pillars of true love: deeds, and the gift of self.
Pope Francis
Money has to serve, not to rule!
Pope Francis
At times we can be self-absorbed. Lord, help us to open our hearts to others and to serve those who are most vulnerable.
Pope Francis
Drug addiction is an evil, and with evil there can be no yielding or compromise.
Pope Francis
Let us never forget that authentic power is service, which has its radiant culmination on the Cross.
Pope Francis
If you don’t learn how to cry, you cannot be a good Christian. When they posed this question to us – why children suffer, why this or that tragedy occurs in life – our response must be either silence or a word that is born of our tears. Be courageous, don’t be afraid to cry.
Pope Francis
My authoritarian and quick manner of making decisions led me to have serious problems and to be accused of being ultraconservative. I have never been a right-winger. It was my authoritarian way of making decisions that created problems.
Pope Francis
Let us not allow ourselves to be robbed of missionary enthusiasm!
Pope Francis
The family is a community of love where each of us learns to relate to others and to the world around us.
Pope Francis
Each of us has a vision of good and of evil. We have to encourage people to move towards what they think is Good.
Pope Francis
That is why the center of our faith isn't just a book, but a history of Salvation, and above all, it's about a person: Jesus Christ, the Word of God made flesh.
Pope Francis
Before I give you a blessing, I ask you for a favor: I want you to bless me.
Pope Francis
Yet only when we come to understand, in the light of the Cross, the evil we are capable of, and have even been a part of, can we experience true remorse and true repentance.
Pope Francis
No act of virtue can be great if it is not followed by advantage for others. So, no matter how much time you spend fasting, no matter how much you sleep on a hard floor and eat ashes and sigh continually, if you do no good to others, you do nothing great.
Pope Francis
Money must serve, not rule! The Pope loves everyone, rich and poor alike, but he is obliged in the name of Christ to remind all that the rich must help, respect and promote the poor. I exhort you to generous solidarity and a return of economics and finance to an ethical approach which favours human beings.
Pope Francis
To protect creation, to protect every man and every woman, to look upon them with tenderness and love is to open up a horizon of hope.
Pope Francis
Jesus is the sun and Mary is the dawn announcing his rising.
Pope Francis
When Jesus stepped into the waters of the Jordan and was baptized by John the Baptist, he did so not because he was in need of repentance, or conversion: he did it to be among people who need forgiveness, among us sinners, and to take upon himself the burden of our sins.
Pope Francis
Today is my anniversary of ordination to the priesthood. Please pray for me and all priests.
