Quote

Don't confuse the evil of avoiding pregnancy by itself, with abortion. Abortion is not a theological problem, it is a human problem, it is a medical problem. You kill one person to save another, in the best case scenario.

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
Image
In the silence of the Cross, the uproar of weapons ceases and the language of reconciliation, forgiveness, dialogue and peace is spoken.
Pope Francis
Image
The border between good and evil passes not outside of us but within us
Pope Francis
Image
Christ comes among us at Christmas: it is the perfect time for a personal encounter with the Lord.
Pope Francis
Image
When Christians forget about hope and tenderness they become a cold Church, that loses its sense of direction and is held back by ideologies and worldly attitudes, whereas God’s simplicity tells you: go forward, I am a Father who caresses you.
Pope Francis
Image
Each person, and every people hungers and thirsts for peace therefore, it is necessary and urgent to build peace!

Let us never forget that it is the Lord who guides the Church. He is the one who makes our apostolates fruitful.
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
Around us there is the presence of evil. The devil is at work. But in a loud voice I say: GOD IS STRONGER.
Pope Francis
Image
Even today we raise our hand against our brother... We have perfected our weapons, our conscience has fallen asleep, and we have sharpened our ideas to justify ourselves as if it were normal we continue to sow destruction, pain, death. Violence and war lead only to death.
Pope Francis
Image
Don't let anyone rob you of hope.
Pope Francis
Image
Help one another: this is what Jesus teaches us and this what I am doing, and doing with all my heart.
Pope Francis
Image
Jesus kept his wounds so that we would experience his mercy. This is our strength and our hope.
Pope Francis
Image
The love of God is not generic. God looks with love upon every man and woman, calling them by name.
Pope Francis
Image
Inconsistency on the part of pastors and the faithful between what they say and what they do, between word and manner of life, is undermining the church's credibility.
Pope Francis
Image
We ask for peace and freedom for the many men and women subject to old and new forms of enslavement on the part of criminal individuals and groups.
Pope Francis
Image
The earth, our home, is beginning to look more and more like an immense pile of filth. In many parts of the planet, the elderly lament that once beautiful landscapes are now covered with rubbish.
Pope Francis
Image
Total openness to serving others is our hallmark, it alone is our title of honour!
Pope Francis
Image
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
