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!

More quotes by Pope Francis
He looked beyond. He looked to the peoples of the Earth and saw the destruction of the family because of the lack of children. Paul VI was courageous. He was a good pastor. He warned his sheep about the wolves that were approaching, and from the heavens he blesses us today.
Pope Francis
Let us pray for peace: peace in the world and in each of our hearts.
Pope Francis
I know married Catholics in a second union who go to church, who go to church once or twice a year and say I want communion, as if joining in Communion were an award. It's a work towards integration, all doors are open, but we cannot say, 'from here on they can have communion.'
Pope Francis
Prayer, humility, and charity toward all are essential in the Christian life: they are the way to holiness.
Pope Francis
Ask yourselves this question: How often is Jesus inside and knocking at the door to be let out, to come out? And we do not let him out because of our own need for security, because so often we are locked into ephemeral structures that serve solely to make us slaves and not free children of God.
Pope Francis
Every child that isn't born, but is unjustly condemned to be aborted, has the face of Jesus Christ, has the face of the Lord.
Pope Francis
A small step, in the midst of great human limitations, can be more pleasing to God than a life which appears outwardly in order but moves through the day without confronting great difficulties.
Pope Francis
The mystery of the Cross, a mystery of love, can only be understood in prayer. Pray and weep, kneeling before the Cross.
Pope Francis
Your sins are great? Just tell the Lord: Forgive me, help me to get up again, change my heart!
Pope Francis
I ask everyone with political responsibility to remember two things: human dignity and the common good.
Pope Francis
Yet only when we come to understand, in the light of the Cross, the evil we are capable of, and have even been a part of, can we experience true remorse and true repentance.
Pope Francis
It is difficult to judge the past by the criteria of the present.
Pope Francis
People in every nation enhance the social dimension of their lives by acting as committed and responsible citizens.
Pope Francis
We need to 'go out,' then, in order to experience our own anointing, its power and its redemptive efficacy: to the 'outskirts' where there is suffering, bloodshed, blindness that longs for sight, and prisoners in thrall to many evil masters.
Pope Francis
Let those desert places in our hearts bloom.
Pope Francis
Thank God [Donald Trump] said I was a politician because Aristotle defined the human person as 'animal politicus.' At least I am a human person. As to whether I am a pawn, well, maybe, I don't know. I'll leave that up to your judgment and that of the people.
Pope Francis
We can walk when we want to, we can build many things, but if we do not witness to Jesus Christ then it doesn't matter. We might become a philanthropic NGO but we wouldn't be the Church, the Bride of the Lord.
Pope Francis
It is not enough to say we are Christians. We must live the faith, not only with our words, but with our actions.
Pope Francis
Being a Christian is not just about following commandments: it is about letting Christ take possession of our lives and transform them.
Pope Francis
I wish everyone a wonderful World Cup, played in a spirit of true fraternity.
Pope Francis
