Lent is a favorable time for letting Christ serve us so that we in turn may become more like Him.
Pope FrancisAmong our tasks as witnesses to the love of Christ is that of giving a voice to the cry of the poor.
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.
Pope FrancisWhen we do not adore God, we adore something else. Money and power are false idols which often take the place of God.
Pope FrancisI make a forceful and urgent call to the entire Catholic Church, and also to every Christian of other confessions, as well as to followers of every religion and to those brothers and sisters who do not believe: peace is a good which overcomes every barrier, because it belongs to all of humanity!
