I know married Catholics in a second union who go to church, who go to church once or twice a year and say I want communion, as if joining in Communion were an award. It's a work towards integration, all doors are open, but we cannot say, 'from here on they can have communion.'
Pope FrancisWe cannot be tepid disciples. The Church needs our courage in order to give witness to truth.
Pope FrancisThe vocation of being a 'protector' [. . .] means protecting all creation, the beauty of the created world, as the Book of Genesis tells us and as Saint Francis of Assisi showed us [. . .] In the end, everything has been entrusted to our protection, and all of us are responsible for it. Be protectors of God’s gifts!
Pope FrancisBeing a Christian is not just about following commandments: it is about letting Christ take possession of our lives and transform them.
