Spiritual Worldliness Kills! It Kills The Soul!

I 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!

I Had The Habit Of Not Accepting Prizes Or Honors, But Always, Not Out Of Humility, But Because I Don't Like Them.

In This Work (peace Building), The Role Of Religion Is Fundamental. It Is Not Possible To Build Bridges Between People While Forgetting God, ... But The Converse Is Also True: It Is Not Possible To Establish True Links With God While Ignoring Other People. Hence It Is Important To Intensify Dialogue Among The Various Religions, And I Am Thinking Particularly Of Dialogue With Islam.

Each Of Us Has A Vision Of Good And Of Evil. We Have To Encourage People To Move Towards What They Think Is Good.

I Don't Live In The Papal Residence. I Live In A Simple Apartment Behind The Vatican Gas Station.
