More quotes by Pope Pius XII
These principles have been proclaimed by God, by the Church, by the Saints, by Christian reason and morals.
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
To live without risk is to risk not living.
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
Just as the divine Redeemer, dying on the Cross, offered Himself as Head of the whole human race to the eternal Father, so also in this clean oblation (Mal 1:2), He, as Head of the Church, offers not only Himself but, in Himself, all His mystical members.
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
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
True Christianity today is not different from primitive Christianity ... She remains what she has been since her foundation: always the same.
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
Bodily pain affects man as a whole down to the deepest layers of his moral being.
Pope Pius XII
Teaching Authority of the Church does not forbid ... research and discussions ... with regard to the doctrine of evolution.
Pope Pius XII
It might be said that society speaks through the clothing it wears. Through its clothing it reveals its secret aspirations and uses it, at least in part, to build or destroy its future.
Pope Pius XII
To desire grace without recourse to the Virgin Mother is to desire to fly without wings.
Pope Pius XII
If a worker is deprived of hope to acquire some personal property, what other natural stimulus can be offered him that will inspire him to hard work, labor, saving and sobriety today, when so many nations and men have lost everything and all they have left is their capacity for work?
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 key to seeing why there should be a Eucharistic worship distinct from the Mass is that the Eucharist is Jesus Christ. No less than His contemporaries in Palestine adored and implored Him for the favors they needed, so we should praise, thank Him, and implore Him for what we need.
Pope Pius XII
That which does not correspond to the truth or to the moral norm possesses, objectively, no right either to existence or to propagation or to action.
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
For centuries, Jews have been unjustly treated and despised. It is time they were treated with justice and humanity. God wills it and the Church wills it. St. Paul tells us that the Jews are our brothers. They should also be welcomed as friends.
Pope Pius XII
[A] high minded gallantry in defense of the foundations of Christian culture.
Pope Pius XII
