Some excerpts

“Our religion is more than just pious thoughts, it transforms us from the inside out.”

“We must strive for purity in faith. Unless those Gospels are lived out it doesn’t matter how beautiful they are.”

“We cannot be a people with a good facade who are corrupted on the inside.”

When I look into your hearts, I do not see grotesque evil coming out of you, I see Christ, I see beauty.”

“Jesus’s death on the cross has renewed us.”

“I want to defend Pope Benedict. He has been attacked ever since he became pope. We don’t need to have a holy pope to have a holy church, but obviously it helps to have a holy pope. “

“The pope is to echo the voice of Jesus Christ. The pope isn’t a teacher, Jesus is the teacher, the pope safeguards the teaching of Jesus Christ. The reason the pope is being attacked is because he echoes the teaching of Jesus that there is an objective moral code that never changes.”

“I want you to know that we have a very beautiful pope, I have met him personally, we didn’t have a long conversation, but he is the kindest man I have ever met. “

“He always makes a point to meet with people who have suffered from the hands of the clergy… They often go away very edified because they know they have met a man who understands what they are going through.”
