God Chooses The Pope And God Also

The Great Danger In Today's World, Pervaded As It Is By Consumerism, Is The Desolation And Anguish Born Of A Complacent Yet Covetous Heart, The Feverish Pursuit Of Frivolous Pleasures, And A Blunted Conscience. Whenever Our Interior Life Becomes Caught Up In Its Own Interests And Concerns, There Is No Longer Room For Others, No Place For The Poor.

To Imitate The Hatred And Violence Of Tyrants And Murderers Is The Best Way To Take Their Place.

We Have Begun A Throw Away Culture. This Tendency Is Seen On The Level Of Individuals And Whole Societies; And It Is Being Promoted! In Circumstances Like These, Solidarity, Which Is The Treasure Of The Poor, Is Often Considered Counterproductive, Opposed To The Logic Of Finance And The Economy. While The Income Of A Minority Is Increasing Exponentially, That Of The Majority Is Crumbling.

To Build Peace Is Difficult But To Live Without It Is Torment.

Poverty Is The Center Of The Gospel.
