Jacques Maritain
“A law is not made just by the sole fact that is expresses the will of the people. An unjust law, even if it expresses the will of the people, is not law.”
Jacques Maritain, Man and the State

Pope Francis
“Nostalgia - the nostalgia for our roots - is a healthy feeling, since people with no roots are lost, and a person with no roots is sick. Roots give us the strength to move forward, to bear fruit, to blossom”
Pope Francis, Hope: The Autobiography

Pope Francis
“Today, when I meet married couples, I always say: Go ahead and argue, break a few plates if you think it helps - to some extent, that's quite normal - but never do it in front of the children, and try to make up before the day is over. Because the real danger is that of the cold war the next day.”
Pope Francis, Hope: The Autobiography

Walter Ciszek, SJ

“So we took our books and went back over a hundred years of Italian history in search of a "just war." It's not our fault if we didn't find one.”
Don Lorenzo Milani
