I believe that Catholics involved in politics carry the values of their religion within them, but have the mature awareness and expertise to implement them. The Church will never go beyond its task of expressing and disseminating its values, at least as long as I'm here.
Pope Francis

Unrestrained liberalism only makes the strong stronger and the weak weaker and excludes the most excluded.
Pope Francis
Image
The question of truth is really a question of memory, deep memory, for it deals with something prior to ourselves and can succeed in uniting us in a way that transcends our petty and limited individual consciousness. It is a question about the origin of all that is, in whose light we can glimpse the goal and thus the meaning of our common path.
Pope Francis

The people of America, are not fearful of foreigners, because most of us were once foreigners.
Pope Francis
Image
Like Mary, may we nurture the light born within us at Christmas. May we carry it everywhere in our daily lives.
Pope Francis

Dear brothers and sisters, the Church loves you! Be an active presence in the community, as living cells, as living stones.
Pope Francis
Image
There are martyrs [between Mexican people], now I will canonize two. It is a population that you can't explain, you can't explain it because the word 'people' is not a logical category, it's a mythical category.
