How many of us, myself included, have lost our bearings; we are no longer attentive to the world in which we live; we donโt care; we donโt protect what God created for everyone, and we end up unable even to care for one another.
Pope FrancisA person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian. This is not in the Gospel.
Pope FrancisThe person who gossips is a terrorist who drops a bomb, destroys, and they destroy others.
Pope FrancisBusiness is a noble vocation, directed to producing wealth and improving the world. It can be a fruitful source of prosperity for the area in which it operates, especially if it sees the creation of jobs as an essential part of its service to the common good. This common good also includes the earth... the environmental challenge we are undergoing, and its human roots, concern and affect us all.
Pope FrancisThe moral problem of abortion is of a pre religious nature because the genetic code is written in a person at the moment of conception. A human being is there. I separate the topic of abortion from any specifically religious notions. It is a scientific problem. Not to allow the further development of a being which already has all the genetic code of a human being is not ethical. The right to life is the first among human rights. To abort a child is to kill someone who cannot defend himself.
