Living together is an art, a patient, beautiful, fascinating journey... It does not end once you have won each other’s love.

The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the Blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone! 'Father, the atheists?' Even the atheists. Everyone!

The first reform must be the attitude.

The confessional is not a torture chamber.
