Quotes
- “The person does not realize himself in himself. He finds himself only by overcoming himself and is self-realized outside himself, that is going towards God and men. He can achieve happiness only indirectly through this double transcendence. In this sense, there is no need to condemn the entire process of individualism; it must be oriented towards the correctly understood Christian faith and the human personality.”
- “There's always the tendency to transform the Church into an ethical agency, and of measuring the Church by the yardstick of social and cultural utility. The mission proper to the Church is that of proclaiming the Gospel. But when one identifies the Church with a cultural and political bloc, there is the danger of making difficult the Church's contact with all those outside the bloc.”
