Pope Francis

The world needs mercy, not condemnation.

The true power is service.

We must not be afraid of dialogue.

The Church is not a club for the perfect, but a home for the imperfect.

The world needs poets.

The measure of a society is its treatment of the poor and vulnerable.

The greatest scandal is poverty.

Money must serve, not rule.

If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?

A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian.

The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the Blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone!

The internet is a gift from God.

I would like to go to Moscow. And not only Moscow. To all of Russia. But you need two to tango.

The Church sometimes has locked itself up in small things, in small-minded rules.

Who am I to give a ticket to hell?

I believe in God, not in a Catholic God.

If a person is gay and seeks God and has good will, who am I to judge them?

The Roman Curia is the leprosy of the papacy.

We cannot insist only on issues related to abortion, gay marriage and the use of contraceptive methods.

I prefer a Church which is bruised, hurting and dirty because it has been out on the streets, rather than a Church which is unhealthy from being confined and from clinging to its own security.
