Pope Paul VI
Through some crack the smoke of satan has entered into the Church of God.
Pope Paul VI
The pope is becoming a missionary, you will say. Yes, the pope is becoming a missionary, which means a witness, a shepherd, an apostle on the move.
Pope Paul VI
We consider Christmas as the encounter, the great encounter, the historical encounter, the decisive encounter, between God and mankind. He who has faith knows this truly let him rejoice.
Pope Paul VI
Modern man listens more willingly to witnesses than to teachers, and if he does listen to teachers, it is because they are witnesses.
Pope Paul VI
Of all human activities, man's listening to God is the supreme act of his reasoning and will.
Pope Paul VI
I met a hundred men going to Delhi and everyone is my brother.
Pope Paul VI
The freedom or immunity from coercion in matters religious, which is the endowment of persons as individuals, is also to be recognized as their right when they act in community. Religious communities are a requirement of the social nature both of man and of religion itself.
Pope Paul VI
Marriage and conjugal love are by their nature ordained toward the procreation and education of children. Children are really the supreme gift of marriage and contribute in the highest degree to their parents' welfare.
