Take the memory and imagination out of an individual and he's stops being an individual.”

“That's his definition of mercy. This is the year of the Mercy Jubilee of the pope. I know that he's against abortion, but he talks about Christ's emphasis on mercy instead of his emphasis on judgment.

He's really a missionary.”
