Pope Francis

Pope Francis
Image
Politics, according to the Social Doctrine of the Church, is one of the highest forms of charity, because it serves the common good. I cannot wash my hands, eh? We all have to give something!
Pope Francis

Despite our sins, we can say with Peter: Lord, you know everything, you know that I love you.
Pope Francis
Image
Our world is facing a refugee crisis of a magnitude not seen since the Second World War. This presents us with great challenges and many hard decisions.
Pope Francis
Image
I asked [Guadalupe] for the world, for peace, so many things. I asked forgiveness, I asked that the Church grows healthy, I asked for the Mexican people. And another thing I asked a lot for: that priests be true priests, and sisters true sisters, and bishops true bishops. As the Lord wants.
Pope Francis

Right now, we don't have a very good relation with creation.
Pope Francis
Image
I ask you to ensure that humanity is served by wealth, and not ruled by it.
