More quotes by Pope Pius XII
True Christianity today is not different from primitive Christianity ... She remains what she has been since her foundation: always the same.
Pope Pius XII
By divine mandate the interpreter and guardian of the Scriptures, and the depository of Sacred Tradition living within her, the Church alone is the entrance to salvation: She alone, by herself, and under the protection and guidance of the Holy Spirit, is the source of truth.
Pope Pius XII
How many girls there are who do not see any wrongdoing in following certain shameless styles like so many sheep. They certainly would blush if they could guess the impression they make and the feelings they evoke in those who see them.
Pope Pius XII
Above all, the state of grace is absolutely necessary at the moment of death without it, salvation and supernatural happiness the beatific vision of God - are impossible.
Pope Pius XII
[Parental] authority must be tempered...with loving kindness and patient encouragement. To temper authority with kindness is to triumph in the struggle which belongs to your duty as parents...All those who would advantageously rule over others, must as an essential element, first dominate themselves, their passions, their impressions.
Pope Pius XII
The faith of the Church is this: That one and identical is the Word of God and the Son of Mary Who suffered on the Cross, Who is present in the Eucharist, and Who rules in Heaven
Pope Pius XII
Henceforth it will be the task of this Sacred Congregation not only to examine carefully the books denounced to it, to prohibit them if necessary, and to grant permission for reading forbidden books, but also to supervise, ex officio, books that are being published, and to pass sentence on such as deserve to be prohibited.
Pope Pius XII
When she was thrown into the air by a savage bull in the amphitheatre at Carthage, her first thought and action when she fell to the ground was to rearrange her dress to cover her thigh, because she was more concerned for modesty than pain.
Pope Pius XII
True science discovers God in an ever-increasing degree — as though God were waiting behind every door opened by science.
Pope Pius XII
The more pure and chaste is a soul, the more it hungers for this Bread [Jesus in the Eucharist], from which it derives strength to resist all temptations to sins of impurity, and by which it is more intimately united with the Divine Spouse 'He who eats My Flesh and drinks My Blood, abides in Me and I in him'
Pope Pius XII
To desire grace without recourse to the Virgin Mother is to desire to fly without wings.
Pope Pius XII
God did not create a human family made up of segregated, dissociated, mutually independent members. No he would have them all united by the bond of total love of Him and consequent self-dedication to assisting each other to maintain that bond intact.
Pope Pius XII
Mainly through sins of impurity, do the forces of darkness subjugate souls.
Pope Pius XII
Wine is a splendid thing in and of itself, but it is nonetheless proper to examine the high nutritional and hygienic values of wine from a scientific point of view. We are convinced that scientists will thus perform a service to mankind, since at the same time they will help determine the measure beyond which its use is a misuse for all creation.
Pope Pius XII
The good of our soul is more important than that of our body and we have to prefer the spiritual welfare of our neighbor to our bodily comforts. . . If a certain kind of dress constitutes a grave and proximate occasion of sin, and endangers the salvation of your soul and others, it is your duty to give it up.
Pope Pius XII
God has no intention of setting a limit to the efforts of man to conquer space.
Pope Pius XII
To separate tabernacle from altar is to separate two things which by their origin and nature should remain united.
Pope Pius XII
Bodily pain affects man as a whole down to the deepest layers of his moral being. It forces him to face again the fundamental questions of his fate, of his attitude toward God and fellow man, of his individual and collective responsibility and of the sense of his pilgrimage on earth.
Pope Pius XII
You lose nothing through peace. You can lose everything through war.
Pope Pius XII
Teaching Authority of the Church does not forbid ... research and discussions ... with regard to the doctrine of evolution.
Pope Pius XII
