Look, I can surely say by now that I've got the antibodies to communism inside me. But when I think of consumer society, with all its tragedies, I wonder which of the two systems is better.

More quotes by Pope John Paul II
Dear young people of every language and culture, a high and exhilarating task awaits you: that of becoming men and women capable of solidarity, peace and love of life, with respect for everyone. Become craftsmen of a new humanity, where brothers and sisters - members all of the same family - are able at last to live in peace.
Pope John Paul II
You are priests, not social or political leaders. Let us not be under the illusion that we are serving the Gospel through an exaggerated interest in the wide field of temporal problems.
Pope John Paul II
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.
Pope John Paul II
The Gospel must not be kept hidden because of fear or indifference. It was never meant to be hidden away in private. It has to be put on a stand so that people may see its light and give praise to our Heavenly Father.
Pope John Paul II
The future is in your hearts and in your hands. God is entrusting to you the task, at once difficult and uplifting, of working with Him in the building of the civilization of love.
Pope John Paul II
Freedom exists for the sake of love.
Pope John Paul II
From now on it is only through a conscious choice and through a deliberate policy that humanity can survive.
Pope John Paul II
A community needs a soul if it is to become a true home for human beings. You.. the people must give it this soul.
Pope John Paul II
He has chosen you, in a mysterious but real way, to make you saviors with Him and like Him. Yes, Christ calls you, but He calls you in truth. His call is demanding, because He invites you to let yourselves be 'captured' by Him completely, so that your whole lives will be seen in a different light.
Pope John Paul II
Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought.
Pope John Paul II
There must be a cooperation of all who believe in God, knowing that authentic religiousness - far from placing individuals and peoples in conflict with one another - rather pushes them together to build a world of peace.
Pope John Paul II
Through Mary, we come to her Son more easily.
Pope John Paul II
The film industry has become a universal medium exercising a profound influence on the development of people's attitudes and choices, and possessing a remarkable ability to influence public opinion and culture across all social and political frontiers.
Pope John Paul II
Taking into account these distinctions, in harmony with the Magisterium of my Predecessors[81] and in communion with the Bishops of the Catholic Church, I confirm that euthanasia is a grave violation of the law of God, since it is the deliberate and morally unacceptable killing of a human person.
Pope John Paul II
The cross means there is no shipwreck without hope there is no dark without dawn nor storm without haven.
Pope John Paul II
Humanity should question itself, once more, about the absurd and always unfair phenomenon of war.
Pope John Paul II
On my knees, I beg of you to turn away from the paths of violence and to return to the path of peace. Those who resort to violence always claim that only violence brings about change. You must know there is a political, peaceful way to justice.
Pope John Paul II
A man shows himself a true disciple of Christ by carrying the cross in his turn every day in the activity that he is called to perform.
Pope John Paul II
Peace is not just the absence of war. Like a cathedral, peace must be constructed patiently and with unshakable faith.
Pope John Paul II
Christ assigns as a duty to every man the dignity of every woman: and simultaneously... He also assigns to every woman the dignity of every man.
Pope John Paul II
