Here are some memorable quotes from Pope Francis, who marks the 10th anniversary of his election as pontiff.
VATICAN CITY – Below are some memorable quotes from Pope Francis, who marks the 10th anniversary of his election as pontiff on March 13.
“God gave us a bountiful garden, but we have turned it into a polluted wasteland of debris, desolation and filth … Climate change is also contributing to the heart-rending refugee crisis. The world’s poor, though least responsible for climate change, are most vulnerable and already suffering its impact.” – September 1, 2016, World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation.“War is madness,” the pope said on September 13, 2014, referring to violence seen around the globe.
“Once more humanity is threatened by a perverse abuse of power and partisan interests which condemns defenseless people to suffer every form of brutal violence,” he said on March 18, 2022. “We must not be taken aback by their numbers, but rather view them as persons, seeing their faces and listening to their stories,” he told the US Congress in September 2015.
“How can it be that it is not a news item when an elderly homeless person dies of exposure, but it is news when the stock market loses two points?” – from Pope Francis’ Apostolic Exhortation in November 2013. However, he ruled out women becoming priests. “Pope John Paul II was clear and closed the door and I’m not going to go back on that,” he said.
“Sexual abuse is such an ugly crime … because a priest who does this betrays the body of the Lord. It is like a satanic Mass,” Francis said on May 27, 2014, on a plane returning from a trip to the Middle East. “Men and women of the Church who are careerists, social climbers, who use the people, the Church, brothers and sisters – those they should serve – as a springboard for their own ambitions and personal interest do great damage to the Church.” he told a gathering of superiors general of orders of nuns from around the world on May 8, 2013.
