• El amor auténtico es obviamente algo bueno... Cuando amamos, llegamos a ser más nosotros mismos, más humanos... La gente a menudo cree que está siendo cariñosa cuando en realidad está siendo posesiva o manipuladora. La gente a veces trata a los demás como objetos para satisfacer sus propias necesidades... ¡Qué fácil es dejarse engañar por las muchas voces de nuestra sociedad que abogan por un enfoque permisivo de la sexualidad, sin tener en cuenta el pudor, el respeto a uno mismo o los valores morales que aportan calidad a las relaciones humanas! Esto es adoración a un dios falso. En lugar de traer vida, trae muerte.

  Pope Benedict XVI

  Vida, Amor Es, Uno Mismo

  Pope Benedict XVI's Address at the Meeting with a Group of Disadvantaged Young People of The Rehabilitation Community of The University Of Notre Dame in Sydney, w2.vatican.va. July 18, 2008.
