I believe that in pretty much every religion there is always a small group of fundamentalists.

The charismatics confused the holy liturgy with a school of samba, but than I was converted when I got to know them better and saw the good they do.

Brothers and sisters, good evening. You all know that the duty of the conclave was to give a bishop to Rome. It seems that my brother cardinals have gone almost to the ends of the earth to get him... but here we are.

There are no part-time Christians.

The Church needs you, your enthusiasm, your creativity and the joy that is so characteristic of you.

Are we ready to be Christians full-time, showing our commitment by word and deed?

We are called to live our baptism every day, as new creatures, clothed in Christ.
