It also happens to me that when I meet a clericalist, I suddenly become anti-clerical. Clericalism should not have anything to do with Christianity. St. Paul, who was the first to speak to the Gentiles, the pagans, to believers in other religions, was the first to teach us that.

The crucifix does not signify defeat or failure. It reveals to us the Love that overcomes evil and sin.

Wars shatter so many lives. I think especially of children robbed of their childhood.

For example, this, what I said about the bishops who move pedophile priests, the best thing they can do is resign. This isn't a dogmatic thing, but this is what I think.

Holy Mother Church teaches us to end the year and also our days with an examination of conscience...to be grateful and to ask for forgiveness.

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

We have, in a sense, lorded it over nature, over Sister Earth, over Mother Earth, i think man has gone too far.
