“However we may pity the mother whose health and even life is imperiled by the performance of her natural duty, there yet remains no sufficient reason for condoning the direct murder of the innocent.”
Pope Pius XI

“Let us thank God that He makes us live among the present problems. It is no longer permitted to anyone to be mediocre.”
Pope Pius XI

“26. Above all other reality there exists one supreme Being: God, the omnipotent Creator of all things, the all-wise and just Judge of all men. This supreme reality, God, is the absolute condemnation of the impudent falsehoods of communism. In truth, it is not because men believe in God that He exists; rather because He exists do all men whose eyes are not deliberately closed to the truth believe in Him and pray to Him.”
Pope Pius XI, Divini Redemptoris: On Atheistic Communism
