A person's rightful due is to be treated as an object of love, not as an object for use.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Let us not accept violence as the way of peace. Let us instead begin by respecting true freedom: the resulting peace will be able to satisfy the world's expectations, for it will be a peace built on justice, a peace founded on the incomparable dignity of the free human being.
