Quote

He saw the threat of the family being destroyed by not being open to life or children. Paul VI was brave. He was a good pastor. He alerted his sheep, telling them that the wolves were approaching.

More quotes by Pope Francis

Image
The fight against poverty and hunger must be fought constantly and on many fronts, especially in its causes.
Pope Francis
Image
The great danger in today's world, pervaded as it is by consumerism, is the desolation and anguish born of a complacent yet covetous heart, the feverish pursuit of frivolous pleasures, and a blunted conscience. Whenever our interior life becomes caught up in its own interests and concerns, there is no longer room for others, no place for the poor.
Pope Francis
Image
During Lent, let us find concrete ways to overcome our indifference.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us not allow ourselves to be robbed of missionary enthusiasm!
Pope Francis
Image
We need courage if we are to be faithful to the Gospel.
Pope Francis
Image
A population that does not take care of the elderly and of children and the young has no future, because it abuses both its memory and its promise.
Pope Francis
Image
The fact is that woman was taken from a rib.
Pope Francis
Image
Being a Christian is not just about following commandments: it is about letting Christ take possession of our lives and transform them.
Pope Francis
Image
If someone is gay and seeks the Lord with good will, who am I to judge?
Pope Francis
Image
Money must serve, not rule! The Pope loves everyone, rich and poor alike, but he is obliged in the name of Christ to remind all that the rich must help, respect and promote the poor. I exhort you to generous solidarity and a return of economics and finance to an ethical approach which favours human beings.
Pope Francis
Image
The culture of prosperity deadens us we are thrilled if the market offers us something new to purchase and in the meantime all those lives stunted for lack of opportunity seem a mere spectacle they fail to move us.
Pope Francis
Image
Human life, the person is no longer perceived as a primary value to be respected and protected, especially if poor or disabled, if not yet useful - such as the unborn child - or no longer needed - such as the elderly.
Pope Francis
Image
Joy cannot be held at heel: it must be let go. Joy is a pilgrim virtue. It is a gift that walks, walks on the path of life, that walks with Jesus: preaching, proclaiming Jesus, proclaiming joy, lengthens and widens that path.
Pope Francis
Image
God's love is unbounded. It has no limits.
Pope Francis
Image
There is so much noise in the world! May we learn to be silent in our hearts and before God.
Pope Francis
Image
If we start without confidence, we have already lost half the battle and we bury our talents.
Pope Francis
Image
Do not be afraid to go and to bring Christ into every area of life, to the fringes of society, even to those who seem farthest away, most indifferent.
Pope Francis
Image
I sincerely hope I can contribute to the progress there has been in relations between Jews and Catholics since the Second Vatican Council in a spirit of renewed collaboration.
Pope Francis
Image
The culture of comfort, which makes us think only of ourselves, makes us insensitive to the cries of other people.
Pope Francis
Image
Don't let anyone rob you of hope.
Pope Francis
