“I believe that this Republic will endure for many centuries. If so there will doubtless be among its Presidents Protestants and Catholics, and very probably at some time, Jews. I have consistently tried while President to act in relation to my fellow Americans of Catholic faith as I hope that any future President who happens to be Catholic will act towards his fellow Americans of Protestant faith. Had I followed any other course I should have felt that I was unfit to represent the American people.” PeopleIfsShouldBelieveHappensCoursesI BelieveFeltPresidentAtheismCenturyShould HaveRelationCatholicFellowsEndureJewPositive AtheismRepublicConsistentlyProtestantsCatholic Faith Book:Letters of Theodore Roosevelt: The big stick, 1905-1909 Source: Letters of Theodore Roosevelt: The big stick, 1905-1909
“While we destroyed the Centre Party, we have not only brought thousands of priests back into the Church, but to millions of respectable people we have restored their faith in their religion and in their priests.

“Sometimes the sight of someone in one faith wrestling with that faith can empower you to wrestle with another faith. For me, it was reading about how the Catholic Church wrestled with itself in the 1960s. Pope John XXIII set Nostra Aetate - the Declaration on the Relation of the Church with Non-Christian Religions - in motion. It changed the relationship between Jews and Catholics. Today, Jews and Catholics meet as friends. If you can do that, after the longest history of hatred the world has known, that empowers you as a Jew or a Muslim to wrestle with your faith.” WorldSometimesTodayReadingChurchChangedHatredRelationCatholicJewEmpoweringWrestlingPopeDeclaration1960s Author:Jonathan Sacks
