Justification by faith is the hinge on which all true religion turns.

Faith consists, not in ignorance, but in knowledge, and that, not only of God, but also of the divine will.

Unless we endeavor to do good to our neighbor, through our cruelty we transgress this law

In truth we know by experience that song has great force and vigour to move and inflame the hearts of men to invoke and praise God with a more vehement and ardent zeal.

For the fetus, though enclosed in the womb of its mother, is already a human being, and it is a monstrous crime to rob it of the life which it has not yet begun to enjoy. If it seems more horrible to kill a man in his own house than in a field, because a man's house is his place of most secure refuge, it ought surely to be deemed more atrocious to destroy a fetus in the womb before it has come to light.

We must make the invisible kingdom visible in our midst.

The excellence of the Church does not consist in multitude but in purity.
