The church must constantly promote dialogue.

The church, inserted and active in human society and in history, does not exist in order to exercise political power or to govern the society.

A servant church must have as its priority solidarity with the poor.

The Church doesn't censor. It tries to guide its faithful through catechism.

We know that social exclusion is closely tied to the new economic world order, globalized, with free and open markets, which isn't bringing prosperity or social justice to all.

A church of dialogue in the contemporary world... a church, taking on the mission of Jesus, which is in the world not to judge humanity, but to love it and to save it.

John Paul II made it clear that... liberation theology based on the teaching of Jesus Christ was necessary, but liberation theology that used a Marxist analysis was unacceptable.
