Pope Paul VI

Pope Paul VI
The pope-and we know this well-is without doubt the most serious obstacle on the ecumenical road.
Pope Paul VI

Pope Paul VI

Pope Paul VI
The task of evangelizing all people constitutes the essential mission of the Church. It is a task and mission which the vast and profound changes of present-day society make all the more urgent.

Pope Paul VI
