Abortion is without a doubt one of the greatest moral evils within modernity. As the Advocate of Christian Memory, a pope must take up the mantle of defending the culture of life - a defense the Early Church held against the pagans of Rome.
Pope Francis
Image
We must not be afraid of solidarity rather let us make all we have and are available to God.
Pope Francis
Image
The thing the Church needs most today is the ability to heal wounds and to warm the hearts of the faithful.
Pope Francis
Image
No one must use the name of God to commit violence. To kill in the name of God is a grave sacrilege. To discriminate in the name of God is inhuman.
Pope Francis
Image
Even the weakest and most vulnerable, the sick, the old, the unborn and the poor, are masterpieces of God's creation, made in his own image, destined to live for ever, and deserving of the utmost reverence and respect.
Pope Francis
Image
In the silence of the Cross, the uproar of weapons ceases and the language of reconciliation, forgiveness, dialogue and peace is spoken.
Pope Francis

Sin, also for those who don't have faith, exists when one goes against one's conscience. To listen to and obey it means, in fact, to decide in face of what is perceived as good or evil. And on this decision pivots the goodness or malice of our action.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us pray that the Church be holier and more humble, loving God by serving the poor, the lonely and the sick.
Pope Francis

There is so much indifference in the face of suffering. May we overcome indifference with concrete acts of charity.
Pope Francis
Image
This is ideological colonization. They colonize people with ideas that try to change mentalities or structures, but this is not new. This was done by the dictatorships of the last century.
Pope Francis
Image
[Joseph Ratzinger] is a man who as the prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith had everything in his hands. He conducted all the investigations, and went on, went on, went on, until he couldn't go any further in the execution.
Pope Francis
Image
The Pope appeals for disinterested solidarity and for a return to person-centred ethics in the world of finance and economics.
Pope Francis
Image
When we do not adore God, we adore something else. Money and power are false idols which often take the place of God.
Pope Francis
Image
Every Christian can witness to God in the workplace, not only with words, but above all with an honest life.
Pope Francis
Image
The presence of the devil is on the first page of the Bible, and the Bible ends as well with the presence of the devil, with the victory of God over the devil.
Pope Francis
Image
Today, the news is scandals, that is news, but the many children who don’t have food - that’s not news. This is grave. We can’t rest easy while things are this way.
Pope Francis
Image
A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian. This is not in the Gospel.
Pope Francis

Young people are just as attracted to the truth as they are convenience and expediency.
