In the Western Church to which I belong, priests cannot be married as in the Byzantine, Ukrainian, Russian or Greek Catholic Churches. In those Churches, the priests can be married, but the bishops have to be celibate. They are very good priests.
Pope Francis

Vocations are born in prayer and from prayer and only in prayer can they persevere and bear fruit.
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

The only way to heal is to look at the Cross, to look at God Who takes upon Himself our sins: my sin is there.
Pope Francis

Why are deadly weapons being sold to those who plan to inflict untold suffering on individuals and society?

In the face of this shameful and culpable silence, it is our duty to confront the problem and to stop the arms trade.

Vanity, showing off, is an attitude that reduces spirituality to a worldly thing, which is the worst sin that could be committed in the church.
Pope Francis
Image
Let's return to our first love, in order to receive the fire which Jesus has kindled in the world and to bring that fire to all people, to the very ends of the earth.
Pope Francis

You can't govern without loving the people and without humility!
Pope Francis

Let us not forget this word: God never ever tires of forgiving us!
Pope Francis
Image
Families have a citizenship which is divine. The identity card they have is given to them by God. So that within the heart of the family, truth, goodness and beauty may truly grow.
Pope Francis
Image
The Roman Curia has its defects, but it seems to me that people often overemphasize its defects and talk too little about the health of the many religious and laypeople who work there.
Pope Francis
Image
Before I give you a blessing, I ask you for a favor: I want you to bless me.

It makes me sad when I find sisters who aren't joyful. They might smile, but with just a smile they could be flight attendants!
