The Saints Were Not Superhuman. They Were

This Visit Is Meant To Express My Closeness To Our Brothers And Sisters Who Endured The Suffering, Loss And Devastation Caused By Typhoon Yolanda. Together With Many People Throughout The World, I Have Admired The Heroic Strength, Faith And Resilience Demonstrated By So Many Filipinos In The Face Of This Natural Disaster, And So Many Others.

We Are A Church Of Sinners But We Must Not Be Afraid Of Holiness. Do Not Be Afraid To Aim For Holiness And Turn Yourselves Over To The Love Of God. Holiness Does Not Mean Performing Extraordinary Things But Carrying Out Daily Things In An Extraordinary Way That Is With Love, Joy And Faith.

I Don't Like To Speak Of Islamic Violence, Because Every Day, When I Browse The Newspapers, I See Violence, Here In Italy... This One Who Has Murdered His Girlfriend, Another Who Has Murdered The Mother-in-law... And These Are Baptized Catholics! There Are Violent Catholics!

Let Us Thank All Those Who Teach In Catholic Schools. Educating Is An Act Of Love; It Is Like Giving Life.

The 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.
