“The fundamental truth of the Gospel is that self-righteousness is the one sin that cannot be forgiven. Jesus died and rose to make us righteous, rightly related to his Father and ours. Self-righteous people don't need Jesus because they don't need a savior.”
― Francis George

“John XXIII convoked the Second Vatican Council and gave it a pastoral purpose: to change the relationship between the Church and the world, so that the world could come to know its savior and there might be peace among all those whom Christ died to save.”
― Francis George

“People who are holy, whether or not publicly recognized by the Church as saints, keep the world from turning into hell.”
― Francis George

“Much that is negative and destructive in the Church today comes ... from fratricidal arguments about elements of the Church’s life and teachings, conflicts that distract Catholics from attending to the reason the Council was called: the conversion of the world.”
― Francis George
