In the past, it was possible to destroy a village, a town, a region, even a country. Now it is the whole planet that has come under threat.

Pope John Paul IIWe are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone through.

Pope John Paul IIThe world looks to the priest, because it looks to Jesus! No one can see Christ; but everyone sees the priest, and through him they wish to catch a glimpse of the Lord! Immense is the grandeur of the Lord! Immense is the grandeur and dignity of the priest!
Pope John Paul IIFurthermore, because God created it, The human body can remain nude and uncovered and preserve its splendour and its beauty.
