Quote

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. Or to live comfortably, no? It's against the Hippocratic oaths doctors must take.

More quotes by Pope Francis

Image
Sin, also for those who don't have faith, exists when one goes against one's conscience. To listen to and obey it means, in fact, to decide in face of what is perceived as good or evil. And on this decision pivots the goodness or malice of our action.
Pope Francis
Image
The root of this possibility of doing good - that we all have - is in creation.
Pope Francis
Image
In a family it is normal to take charge of those who need help. Do not be afraid of frailty!
Pope Francis
Image
Among us, who is above must be in service of the others. This doesn't mean we have to wash each other's feet every day, but we must help one another.
Pope Francis
Image
I entered the diocesan seminary. I liked the Dominicans, and I had Dominican friends. But then I chose the Society of Jesus, which I knew well because the seminary was entrusted to the Jesuits. Three things in particular struck me about the Society: the missionary spirit, community and discipline.

These are roots of all evil, hatred and greed, for money, for the construction and for the sale of weapons. This should make us all think, who is behind it all?
Pope Francis
Image
[Abortion] is an evil in and of itself, but it is not a religious evil in the beginning, no, it's a human evil. Then obviously, as with every human evil, each killing is condemned.
Pope Francis
Image
Do I pray that the Lord gives me the desire to do his will, or do I look for compromises because I'm afraid of God's will?
Pope Francis
Image
I ask all people of goodwill to help build a culture of encounter, solidarity and peace
Pope Francis
Image
May the God of peace arouse in all an authentic desire for dialogue and reconciliation. Violence cannot be overcome with violence. Violence is overcome with peace.
Pope Francis
Image
The charismatics confused the holy liturgy with a school of samba, but than I was converted when I got to know them better and saw the good they do.
Pope Francis
Image
Seeking happiness in material things is a sure way of being unhappy.
Pope Francis
Image
The Sacraments are Jesus Christ’s presence in us. So it is important for us to go to Confession and receive Holy Communion.
Pope Francis
Image
While new rights are attributed to or indeed almost presumed by the individual, life is not always protected as the primary value and the primordial right of every human being. The ultimate aim of medicine remains the defence and promotion of life.
Pope Francis
Image
Through prayer, charity and humility before God, people receive a heart which is firm and merciful, attentive and generous, a heart which is not closed, indifferent or prey to the globalization of indifference.
Pope Francis
Image
Become the Word in body as well as spirit.
Pope Francis
Image
I beg the Lord to grant us more politicians who are genuinely disturbed by the state of society, the people, the lives of the poor!
Pope Francis
Image
From the Cross, Christ teaches us to love even those who do not love us.
Pope Francis
Image
Don't let anyone rob you of hope.

Do good: we will meet one another there.
