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
Teaching Authority of the Church does not forbid ... research and discussions ... with regard to the doctrine of evolution.
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
You lose nothing through peace. You can lose everything through war.
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
To desire grace without recourse to the Virgin Mother is to desire to fly without wings.
Pope Pius XII
Bodily pain affects man as a whole down to the deepest layers of his moral being.
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
Mainly through sins of impurity, do the forces of darkness subjugate souls.
Pope Pius XII
To live without risk is to risk not living.
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
[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
God has no intention of setting a limit to the efforts of man to conquer space.
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
[A] high minded gallantry in defense of the foundations of Christian culture.
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
To separate tabernacle from altar is to separate two things which by their origin and nature should remain united.
Pope Pius XII
Let no Christian therefore, whether philosopher or theologian, embrace eagerly and lightly whatever novelty happens to be thought up from day to day, but rather let him weigh it with painstaking care and a balanced judgment, lest he lose or corrupt the truth he already has, with grave danger and damage to his faith.
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
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
