Letter "J" » Joseph Ratzinger Quotes
«Your commitment is an expression of pastoral concern for every human being who may never become a means, but must always remain an end.»
Author: Joseph Ratzinger
«A just laicism allows religious freedom. The state does not impose religion but rather gives space to religions with a responsibility toward civil society, and therefore it allows these religions to be factors in building up society.»
Author: Joseph Ratzinger
«The fact that the church is convinced of not having the right to confer priestly ordination on women is now considered by some as irreconcilable with the European Constitution.»
Author: Joseph Ratzinger
«Celibacy is not a matter of compulsion. Someone is accepted as a priest only when he does it of his own accord.»
Author: Joseph Ratzinger
«The wrath of God is a way of saying that I have been living in a way that is contrary to the love that is God. Anyone who begins to live and grow away from God, who lives away from what is good, is turning his life toward wrath.»
Author: Joseph Ratzinger
«Above all, we must have great respect for these people who also suffer and who want to find their own way of correct living. On the other hand, to create a legal form of a kind of homosexual marriage, in reality, does not help these people.»
Author: Joseph Ratzinger
«In the Church, priests also are sinners. But I am personally convinced that the constant presence in the press of the sins of Catholic priests, especially in the United States, is a planned campaign, as the percentage of these offenses among priests is not higher than in other categories, and perhaps it is even lower.»
Author: Joseph Ratzinger
«The abuse of faith has to be resisted precisely.»
Author: Joseph Ratzinger
«To me, its seems necessary to rediscover - and the energy to do so exists - that even the political and economic spheres need moral responsibility, a responsibility that is born in man's heart and, in the end, has to do with the presence or absence of God.»
