• That there should be some fire even after this life is not incredible, and it can be inquired into and either be discovered or left hidden whether some of the faithful may be saved, some more slowly and some more quickly in the greater or lesser degree in which they loved the good things that perish, through a certain purgatorial fire.

  Saint Augustine

• Comienzo cada día con la Santa Misa, recibiendo a Jesús escondido bajo la apariencia de un simple trozo de pan. Luego salgo a la calle y encuentro al mismo Jesús escondido en los indigentes moribundos, los enfermos de sida, los leprosos, los niños abandonados, los hambrientos y los sin techo. Es el mismo Jesús.

  Mother Teresa

• Es este único Espíritu el que hace posible que un niño sea regenerado... cuando ese niño es llevado al bautismo; y es por medio de este único Espíritu que el niño así presentado renace. Porque no está escrito: "Si el hombre no renaciere por voluntad de sus padres" o "por la fe de los que lo presentan o le sirven", sino: "Si el hombre no renaciere del agua y del Espíritu Santo". El agua, pues, manifestando exteriormente el sacramento de la gracia, y el Espíritu realizando interiormente el beneficio de la gracia, ambos regeneran en un solo Cristo a aquel hombre que fue engendrado en Adán.

• Our responsibility as Christians makes us tremble. The northern hemisphere, the developed area of the world, the 20% who possess 80% of the world's resources, are of Christian origin. What impression can our African and Asian brethren and the masses in Latin America have of Christianity, if the tree is to be judged by its fruits? For we Christians are largely responsible for the unjust world in which we live.

• Is he prepared to support, at his own expense, projects and undertakings designed to help the needy?

Is he prepared to emigrate from his homeland if necessary and if he is young, in order to help the emerging nations?

• The sacred rites, although not instituted specifically for proving the truth of the dogmas of the Catholic Faith incontrovertibly, are effectively the living voice of Catholic Truth, the oft-sounded expression of it. For that very reason the true Church of Christ, even as she shows great zeal to guard inviolate those forms of divine worship - since they are hallowed and are not to be changed - sometimes grants or permits something novel in the performance of them in certain instances. This she does especially when they are in conformity with their venerable antiquity.

  Papa León XIII

• True piety admits no other rule than that whatsoever things have been faithfully received from our fathers the same are to be faithfully consigned to our children; and that it is our duty, not to lead religion whither we would, but rather to follow religion whither it leads; and that it is the part of Christian modesty and gravity not to hand down our own beliefs or observances to those who come after us, but to preserve and keep what we have received from those who went before us.

• All appeals to Scripture are appeals to interpretations of Scripture. The only real question is: whose interpretation? People with differing interpretations of Scripture cannot set a Bible on a table and ask it to resolve their differences. In order for the Scripture to function as an authority, it must be read and interpreted by someone. According to "solo" Scriptura, that someone is each individual, so ultimately, there are as many final authorities as there are human interpreters.
