Sometimes negative news does come out, but it is often exaggerated and manipulated to spread scandal. Journalists sometimes risk becoming ill from coprophilia and thus fomenting coprophagia: which is a sin that taints all men and women, that is, the tendency to focus on the negative rather than the positive aspects.

The cross is the price of true love. Lord, give us the strength to accept and carry our crosses!

Mercy is the very foundation of the Church's life...The Church's very credibility is seen in how she shows merciful and compassionate love...Mercy is the force that reawakens us to new life and instills in us the courage to look to the future with hope.

The key that opens the door to the faith is prayer.

We have to state, without mincing words, that there is an inseparable bond between our faith and the poor. May we never abandon them.

We must always walk in the presence of the Lord, in the light of the Lord, always trying to live in an irreprehensible way.

For the sake of peace, religious beliefs must never be allowed to be abused in the cause of violence and war.
