I sincerely hope I can contribute to the progress there has been in relations between Jews and Catholics since the Second Vatican Council in a spirit of renewed collaboration.

Pope Francis 1292 quotes

A good Catholic meddles in politics, offering the best of himself, so that those who govern can govern. But what is the best that we can offer to those who govern? Prayer!

Pope Francis 1292 quotes

Abortion isn't a lesser evil,...

Abortion isn't a lesser evil, it's a crime. Taking one life to save another, that's what the Mafia does. It's a crime. It's an absolute evil.

Pope Francis 1292 quotes

It is true that going out on ...

It is true that going out on to the street implies the risk of accidents happening, as they would to any ordinary man or woman. But if the church stays wrapped up in itself, it will age. And if I had to choose between a wounded church that goes out on to the streets and a sick, withdrawn church, I would definitely choose the first one.

Pope Francis 1292 quotes

A church without women would ...

A church without women would be like the apostolic college without Mary. The Madonna is more important than the apostles, and the church herself is feminine, the spouse of Christ and a mother.

Pope Francis 1292 quotes

Let us all remember this: one...

Let us all remember this: one cannot proclaim the Gospel of Jesus without the tangible witness of one's life.

Pope Francis 1292 quotes

Those who today always look f...

Those who today always look for disciplinarian solutions, those who long for an exaggerated doctrinal 'security,' those who stubbornly try to recover a past that no longer exists - they have a static and inward-directed view of things. In this way, faith becomes an ideology among other ideologies.

Pope Francis 1292 quotes

The Jesuits have a vow to obey the pope, but if the pope is a Jesuit, maybe he should have a vow to obey the superior general... I feel like I'm still a Jesuit in terms of my spirituality, what I have in my heart.

Pope Francis 1292 quotes

Worshipping is stripping ours...

Worshipping is stripping ourselves of our idols, even the most hidden ones, and choosing the Lord as the centre, as the highway of our lives.

I love tango, and I used to dance when I was young.

Pope Francis 1292 quotes

Since God created the world, ...

Since God created the world, He also created reality.

Pope Francis 1292 quotes

We must not reduce the bosom ...

We must not reduce the bosom of the universal church to a nest protecting our mediocrity.

Pope Francis 1292 quotes

I like it when someone tells ...

I like it when someone tells me 'I don't agree.' This is a true collaborator. When they say 'Oh, how great, how great, how great,' that's not useful.

Pope Francis 1292 quotes

A mother defends herself with...

A mother defends herself with a heart filled with love before doing so with words. I wonder whether there is any love for the church in the hearts of those who pay so much attention to the scandals.

Pope Francis 1292 quotes

I see clearly that the thing ...

I see clearly that the thing the church needs most today is the ability to heal wounds and to warm the hearts of the faithful; it needs nearness, proximity.

Pope Francis 1292 quotes

The Roman Curia has its defec...

The Roman Curia has its defects, but it seems to me that people often overemphasize its defects and talk too little about the health of the many religious and laypeople who work there.

Pope Francis 1292 quotes

In our ecclesiastical region ...

In our ecclesiastical region there are priests who don't baptize the children of single mothers because they weren't conceived in the sanctity of marriage. These are today's hypocrites. Those who clericalize the church. Those who separate the people of God from salvation.

Pope Francis 1292 quotes

We cannot insist only on issu...

We cannot insist only on issues related to abortion, gay marriage and the use of contraceptive methods. The teaching of the church is clear, and I am a son of the church, but it is not necessary to talk about these issues all the time.

Pope Francis 1292 quotes

Today, the news is scandals; ...

Today, the news is scandals; that is news, but the many children who don't have food - that's not news. This is grave. We can't rest easy while things are this way.

Oh, how I would like a poor Church, and for the poor.
