I like the catholicity in time: our tradition is one of 2,000 years.

I don't cling to earthly life because I believe in eternal life. That's the big distinction between my point of view and a purely secular position.

In the event that my illness worsens, I want to have a guarantee that I can die in a dignified manner. Nowhere in the bible does it say that a person has to stick it out to the decreed end. No one tells us what "decreed" means.

The Epistle to the Romans is an extremely important synthesis of the whole theology of St. Paul.

All historical experience demonstrates the following: Our earth cannot be changed unless in the not too distant future an alteration in the consciousness of individuals is achieved.

I'm not saying goodbye to life because I'm a misanthropist or disdain this life, but because, for other reasons, it's time to move on.

A Church which abandons the truth abandons itself.
