More quotes by Pope Leo XIII
There are three influences which appear to Us to have the chief place in effecting this downgrade movement of society. These are-first, the distaste for a simple and laborious life secondly, repugnance to suffering of any kind thirdly, the forgetfulness of the future life.
Pope Leo XIII
Nothing emboldens the wicked so greatly as the lack of courage on the part of the good.
Pope Leo XIII
Heart of Jesus, burning with love for us, inflame our hearts with love of Thee.
Pope Leo XIII
To this must be added that the hiring of labor and the conduct of trade are concentrated in the hands of comparatively few so that a small number of very rich men have been able to lay upon the teeming masses of the laboring poor a yoke little better than that of slavery itself.
Pope Leo XIII
The liberty of thinking and publishing whatsoever each one likes, without any hindrances, is not in itself an advantage over which society can wisely rejoice. On the contrary, it is the fountainhead and origin of many evils.
Pope Leo XIII
It is neither just nor human so to grind men down with excessive labour as to stupefy their minds and wear out their bodies.
Pope Leo XIII
Every man has by nature the right to possess property as his own.
Pope Leo XIII
For what concerns diversity of rites in the sacred liturgy, the Apostolic See has always made its position clear: not only it does not condemn diversity, but it eagerly and willingly grants to each nation the right to keep and preserve the legitimate customs and traditions of its forbears.
Pope Leo XIII
People differ in capacity, skill, health, strength and unequal fortune is a necessary result of unequal condition. Such inequality is far from being disadvantageous either to individuals or to the community.
Pope Leo XIII
It is not the part of prudence to neglect that which antiquity in its long experience has approved and which is also taught by apostolic authority.
Pope Leo XIII
Moreover, Christians are born for combat, whereof the greater the vehemence, the more assured, God willing, the triumph: 'Have confidence I have overcome the world'
Pope Leo XIII
It is quite unlawful to demand, defend, or to grant unconditional freedom of thought, or speech, of writing or worship, as if these were so many rights given by nature to man.
Pope Leo XIII
Inadequacy of his own strength, learned from experience, impels and urges a man to enlist the help of others.
Pope Leo XIII
Nothing is more important than to war on war.
Pope Leo XIII
Peace is built on the foundation of justice.
Pope Leo XIII
Not only, in strict truth, was marriage instituted for the propagation of the human race, but also that the lives of husbands and wives might be made better and happier.
Pope Leo XIII
It is shameful and inhuman to treat men like chattels to make money by, or to regard them merely as so much muscle or physical power.
Pope Leo XIII
The Church of Christ, therefore, is one and the same forever.
Pope Leo XIII
Remember and understand well that where Peter is, there is the Church that those who refuse to associate in communion with the Chair of Peter belong to Antichrist, not to Christ. He who would separate himself from the Roman Pontiff has no further bond with Christ.
Pope Leo XIII
It is an in, a grave evil and a disturbance of the right order, for a larger and higher organisation, to arrogate to itself functions which can be performed efficiently by smaller and lower bodies.
Pope Leo XIII
