I dream of a church that is a mother and shepherdess.
Pope Francis

I believe in the old warrior's credo that to the victor go the spoils.
Pope Francis

Let's say 'Yes' to life and 'No' to death.

Let us always pray for one another.

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

The fight against poverty and hunger must be fought constantly and on many fronts, especially in its causes.

When I had to say something that I didn't like to Turkey, but of which I was sure, I said it, with the consequences that you all know [Editor's note: a reference to his comments on the Armenian Genocide]. I said these words ... I was sure
