The key phrase used by the synod, which I'll take up again, is 'integrate' in the life of the Church the wounded families, remarried families, etc. But of this one mustn't forget the children in the middle. They are the first victims, both in the wounds, and in the conditions of poverty, of work.
Pope Francis
Image
It makes no difference whether they be Catholics, Orthodox, Copts or Protestants. They are Christians! Their blood is one and the same. Their blood confesses Christ.
Pope Francis
Image
All political activity must serve and promote the good of the human person and be based on respect for his or her dignity.
Pope Francis
Image
Many of you have asked the Lord, looking at Him: Why, Lord? And the Lord answers to each one of you, to your heart, Christ responds with His heart. It's the only thing I can tell you. Let us look to Christ, He is the Lord and He understands us because He underwent all the trials that we go through.
Pope Francis
Image
This generation, and many others, have been led to believe that the devil is a myth, a figure, an idea, the idea of evil... But the devil exists and we must fight against him.
Pope Francis
Image
A friendship with a woman is not a sin. (It's) a friendship. A romantic relationship with a woman who is not your wife, that is a sin.
Pope Francis
Image
Confession is the sacrament of the tenderness of God, his way of embracing us.
Pope Francis
Image
May we learn to say “thank you” to God and to one another. We teach children to do it, and then we forget to do it ourselves!
Pope Francis
Image
It's not a problem that we're sinners it's a problem that we aren't ashamed of our sin and don't seek forgiveness.
Pope Francis
Image
We are called to reach out to those who find themselves in the existential peripheries of our societies and to show particular solidarity with the most vulnerable of our brothers and sisters: the poor, the disabled, the unborn and the sick, migrants and refugees, the elderly and the young who lack employment.
Pope Francis
Image
If we want security, let us give security if we want life, let us give life if we want opportunities, let us provide opportunities. The yardstick we use for others will be the yardstick which time will use for us.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us not close our hearts, let us not lose confidence, let us never give up: there are no situations which God cannot change, there is no sin which he cannot forgive if only we open ourselves to him.
Pope Francis
Image
Obeying God is listening to God, having an open heart to follow the path that God points out to us.
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
An authentic faith-which is never comfortable or completely personal-always involves a deep desire to change the world, to transmit values, to leave this earth somehow better than we found it.
Pope Francis
Image
It's true, harm to Catholics must always be avoided, and all of us do this...but not at the price of the truth!
Pope Francis
Image
The Holy Spirit truly transforms us. With our cooperation, he also wants to transform the world we live in.
Pope Francis
Image
How many of us, myself included, have lost our bearings we are no longer attentive to the world in which we live we don’t care we don’t protect what God created for everyone, and we end up unable even to care for one another.
Pope Francis
Image
We also must learn to listen more to our conscience. Be careful, however: this does not mean we ought to follow our ego, do whatever interests us, whatever suits us, whatever pleases us. That is not conscience.
Pope Francis
Image
Since God created the world, He also created reality.
Pope Francis
