Words of Doctrine

«" An "adult" faith is not a faith that follows the trends of fashion and the latest novelty; a mature adult faith is deeply rooted in friendship with Christ. It is this friendship that opens us up to all that is good and gives us a criterion by which to distinguish the true from the false, and deceit from truth.».
(Cardinal Ratzinger in his homily during the Mass Pro eligendo Romano Pontifice)
