Quotes
- “Lamps (inculturation) are the people from all epochs who give them to us day after day. Let us also be grateful for our period: everything is not so negative.”
- “God is good and perfect, but I know I'm not, and it's useless trying.”
- “I remain convinced that gathering a small council around the pope every so often, Church figures from different countries, whose members might change every two or three years maybe, would be of help to him, so he can be sure of knowing the temperature of the Church. The Curia can't feel and register that temperature, it's not its task.”
