“In our ecclesiastical region there are priests who don't baptize the children of single mothers because they weren't conceived in the sanctity of marriage. These are today's hypocrites. Those who clericalize the church. Those who separate the people of God from salvation.” PeopleChildrenTodayMotherChurchSalvationRegionsPriestsHypocriteSanctitySingle MotherSanctity Of Marriage Author:Pope Francis
“The world could not long ignore a holy church. The church is not despised because it is holy: it is despised because it is not holy enough. There is not enough difference between the people inside the church and those outside to be impressive. A church in which saints were as common as now they are rare would convict the world, if only by contrast. Sanctity cannot be ignored. Even a little bit is potent. So far from the gates of hell prevailing against it, it hammers on their triple steel.” PeopleIfsWorldLittlesLongEnoughReligionBitsDifferencesChurchCommonHellHolyLittle BitSaintGatesContrastSteelIgnoredHammersImpressiveDespisedSanctityPrevailingConvictsGates Of Hell Author:Bill Vaughan

“The world may disagree with the Church, but the world knows very definitely with what it is disagreeing. In the future as in the past, the Church will be intolerant about the sanctity of marriage, for what God has joined together no man shall put asunder; she will be intolerant about her creed, and be ready to die for it, for she fears not those who kill the body, but rather those who have the power to cast body and soul into hell.” KnowsMenWorldMaySoulBodyTogetherPastDiesChurchHellReadyCastsDisagreeCreedsFear NotSanctityReady To DieSanctity Of Marriage Author:Fulton J.
