Bishop John Hughes
"Catholicism will convert all pagan nations, and all Protestant nations, even England with her proud Parliament. Everybody should know that we have for our mission to convert the world-including the inhabitants of the United States- the people of the cities, and the people of the country, the Officers of the Navy and the Marines, the commander of the Army, the legislatures, the Senate, the Cabinet, the President and all."
Exarch Leonid Feodorov
"It is all one to me whether I am shot or I am sentenced to ten years' imprisonment; yet I am no fanatic. Since the moment I gave myself to the Catholic Church my sole thought has been to bring back my country [Russia] to that Church, which I believe is the only true Church."
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
"The only way to win audiences is to tell people about the life and death of Christ. Every other approach is a waste. "
Abbot Dom Guéranger
"The assistance at Mass, if completed by the real participation of the divine victim, unites man to God in an ineffable way by the renovation of his whole being for it produces an intimate communion between him and the Word Incarnate."
Pope St. Pius V
"The inspired Blessed founder of the Order of Friars Preachers, [St. Dominic], in circumstances similar to those in which we now find ourselves, when parts of France and of Italy were unhappily troubled by the heresy of the Albegenses, which blinded so many of the worldly that they were raging most savagely against the priests of the Lord and the clergy, raised his eyes up unto heaven, unto that mountain of the Glorious Virgin Mary, loving Mother of God. For she by her seed has crushed the head of the twisted serpent, and has alone destroyed all heresies, and by the blessed fruit of her womb has saved a world condemned by the fall of our first parent." - Consueverunt Romani
Pope Pius VI
"In fact, after having abolished the monarchy, the best of all governments, it [the French Revolution] had transferred all the public power to the people — the people... ever easy to deceive and to lead into every excess…" -Pourquoi Notre Voix, 17th June 1793
Pope Pius VII
"Therefore, omit no watchfulness, diligence, care, and effort, in order to 'guard the deposit' of Christ's teaching whose destruction has been planned, as you know, by a great conspiracy." Diu Satis, no. 11
Blessed Pope Pius IX
"By which impious opinions and machinations these most deceitful men chiefly aim at this result, viz., that the salutary teaching and influence of the Catholic Church may be entirely banished from the instruction and education of youth, and that the tender and flexible minds of young men may be infected and depraved by every most pernicious error and vice. For all who have endeavored to throw into confusion things both sacred and secular, and to subvert the right order of society, and to abolish all rights, human and divine, have always (as we above hinted) devoted all their nefarious schemes, devices and efforts, to deceiving and depraving incautious youth and have placed all their hope in its corruption." - Quanta Cura, no. 4
Pope St. Pius X
"Indeed, the true friends of the people are neither revolutionaries, nor innovators: they are traditionalists." -Notre Charge Apostolique
Pope Pius XII
A day will come when the civilized world will deny its God, when the Church will doubt as Peter doubted. She will be tempted to believe that man has become God. In our churches, Christians will search in vain for the red lamp where God awaits them. Like Mary Magdalene, weeping before the empty tomb, they will ask, "Where have they taken him?" -Pie XII devant l'Histoire pgs. 53-54
Pope Pius XI
"The ultimate consequences of the individualist spirit in economic life are those which you yourselves, Venerable Brethren and Beloved Children, see and deplore: Free competition has destroyed itself; economic dictatorship has supplanted the free market; unbridled ambition for power has likewise succeeded greed for gain; all economic life has become tragically hard, inexorable, and cruel. To these are to be added the grave evils that have resulted from an intermingling and shameful confusion of the functions and duties of public authority with those of the economic sphere - such as, one of the worst, the virtual degradation of the majesty of the State, which although it ought to sit on high like a queen and supreme arbitress, free from all partiality and intent upon the one common good and justice, is become a slave, surrendered and delivered to the passions and greed of men." -Quadragesimo Anno
Pope St Leo the Great
"Out of the whole world one man, Peter, is chosen to preside at the calling of all nations, and to be set over all the apostles and all the fathers of the Church. Though there are in God’s people many shepherds, Peter is thus appointed to rule in his own person those whom Christ also rules as the original ruler. Whatever Christ has willed to be shared in common by Peter and the other leaders of the Church, it is only through Peter that he has given to others what he has not refused to bestow on them." -De Natali ipsius, 2
Pope St Leo IX
"As the hinge while remaining immovable opens and closes the door, so Peter and his successors have free judgment over all the Church, since no one should remove their status because the highest See is judged by no one." In terra pax hominibus, cap. 32
Pope Leo XIII
"If working people can be encouraged to look forward to obtaining a share in the land, the consequence will be that the gulf between vast wealth and sheer poverty will be bridged over, and the respective classes will be brought nearer to one another." -Rerum Novarum
Pope St Gregory the Great
"For when by the Lord’s resurrection we are led back to the world above, the damage done to the heavenly homeland is repaired. But now let us listen to what is said to the women as they arrive: “Do not be terrified.” It is as if to say, 'Let those be afraid who have no love for the coming of heaven’s citizens; let those be shaken who, under the pressure of carnal attraction, have given up hope of attaining their fellowship. But you, why should you become frightened o seeing your fellow-citizens?'"
Pope St Gregory VII
"He who asserts that he cannot be bound by the Church's bonds, confesses that he cannot be loosed by her authority. And he who makes such an assertion, separates himself wholly from Christ." Letter to Bishop Hermann of Metz, 1076
Pope Gregory XVI
"This shameful font of indifferentism gives rise to that absurd and erroneous proposition which claims that liberty of conscience must be maintained for everyone. It spreads ruin in sacred and civil affairs, though some repeat over and over again with the greatest impudence that some advantage accrues to religion from it. "But the death of the soul is worse than freedom of error," as Augustine was wont to say. When all restraints are removed by which men are kept on the narrow path of truth, their nature, which is already inclined to evil, propels them to ruin." -Mirari Vos, no. 14
Pope Benedict XIV
"Show your people with persuasive words that the sin and vice of usury is most emphatically condemned in the Sacred Scriptures; that it assumes various forms and appearances in order that the faithful, restored to liberty and grace by the blood of Christ, may again be driven headlong into ruin. Therefore, if they desire to invest their money, let them exercise diligent care lest they be snatched by cupidity, the source of all evil; to this end, let them be guided by those who excel in doctrine and the glory of virtue." -Vix Pervenit, no. 7
Pope St Nicholas the Great
"It is our rigorous duty, on account of the solicitude of our pastoral office it is incumbent upon us, because Divine Providence has set us over all His household to guard it, to regard our sublime Apostolate as intended to offer to the faithful and the humble, an assured and immovable Defense, against which beat in vain the angry waves of the enemy. -Epistle, 32
