“In the middle of this despair [of postwar Germany], my family learned about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the healing message of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. This message made all the difference; it lifted us above our daily misery. Life was still thorny and the circumstances still horrible, but the gospel brought light, hope, and joy into our lives. The plain and simple truths of the gospel warmed our hearts and enlightened our minds. They helped us look at ourselves and the world around us with different eyes and from an elevated viewpoint.” WorldMindLooksHeartMadeStillsDifferentLightEyeJoyJesusChristDifferencesChurchSimpleHealingOur LivesMiddleCircumstancesDespairMessagesJesus ChristMy FamilyMiserySaintHorribleGermanyLatterEnlightenedViewpointsLatter DaysSimple TruthsLatter Day SaintsPlain And Simple Author:Dieter F.

“There is no necessity for going to the church and hearing the same story forever. Let the minister write what he wishes to say. Let him publish it. If it is worth buying, people will read it. It is hardly fair to get them in a church in the name of duty and there inflict upon them a sermon that under no circumstances they would read...the idea of going fifty-two days in a year to hear anybody on the same subject is absurd.” PeopleIfsWritingYearsTwoIdeasStoriesNamesWishChurchForeverSubjectsDutyCircumstancesFairsHearingAbsurdMinistersFiftyBuyingSermonsPublishTwo Days Author:Robert Green Ingersoll
“I have no question that the Roman Catholic Church teaches that abortion in virtually all circumstances is wrong. I think the church's position at all times in modern history has been that it is unequivocally opposed to abortion.But that's not the question for a Catholic who is a public official. I happen to subscribe to the church's position as a person. Still the question, as Governor Mario Cuomo suggested, is: what is your obligation as a civic leader? I agree entirely with John F. Kennedy. I answer only to my conscience in my public life and that's that.” ThinkingChurchLeaderTeachModernCircumstancesConscienceCatholicAgreeObligationAll TimeAbortionRoman Catholic Author:Bruce Babbitt

“Strictly enforce the scale of "fixed responsibility." The first and foremost level of responsibility is with the individual himself; the second level is the family; then the church; next the community, finally the county, and, in a disaster or emergency, the state. Under no circumstances is the federal government to become involved in public welfare. The Founders felt it would corrupt the government and also the poor.
