The Complete Studies
ÍNDICE TEMÁTICO
Dogma ↳ 152 - “The Catholic Church has acted again and again as a mediator in finding solutions to problems affecting peace, social harmony, the land, the defense of life, human and civil rights”
↳ 150 - “Unity of teaching and practice is certainly necessary in the Church, but this does not preclude various ways of interpreting some aspects of that teaching or drawing certain consequences from it”
↳ 140 - “Do we love the Church as we love our mothers, also taking into account her defects? All mothers have defects. The Church also has her defects”
↳ 138 - “The Church is woman. Women, in the Church, are more important than bishops and priests”
↳ 137 - “If someone comes to you and feels something must be removed from him, but perhaps he is unable to say it, but you understand … it’s all right, he says it this way, with the gesture of coming. Have open arms, to understand what is inside that heart that cannot be said or said this way … somewhat because of shame … you understand me”
↳ 135 - “The Son of Man, who like a serpent, became sin, is raised up to save us. Let us look at the Cross, a man tortured, a God, emptied of his divinity, stained by sin”
↳ 134 - “I think about a conversion of the papacy. It is my duty, as the Bishop of Rome, to be open to suggestions which can help make the exercise of my ministry more faithful to the meaning which Jesus Christ wished to give it”
↳ 122 - “For this little ‘escapade’, Jesus probably had to beg forgiveness of his parents”
↳ 119 - “No one can know if they are touched by grace. Grace is how much light there is in the soul”
↳ 121 - “Faith is not an inheritance we receive from others, rather it is a loving response that we give freely and that day by day we build”
↳ 118 - The differences between Catholic sacraments and Lutheran worship are “explanations, interpretations.” “You are doing the same thing, whether in the Lutheran language or the Catholic one, but it’s the same.”
↳ 115 - The Council Fathers strongly perceived a need to talk about God to men and women of their time in a more accessible way. The time had come to proclaim the Gospel in a new way
↳ 111 - What moved Jesus in all situations was nothing other than mercy
↳ 107 - Jesus came into the world to learn how to be a man
↳ 106 - Spiritual direction is a charism of the laity
↳ 101 - In the Gospel, Jesus does not become angry, but pretends to when the disciples do not understand him
↳ 77 - Teaching and studying theology means living on a frontier. Good theologians, like good shepherds, have the odor of the people and of the street
↳ 99 - Those who are Christians with the Bible and those who are Muslims with the Koran, with the faith you have received from your fathers. There is one single God, the same God
↳ 98 - In Argentina, we worked together a lot with the pastors. In Buenos Aires, I got together with a group of pastors who were friends, and we prayed together. And that helped those of us who were more serious to work together. So, you see, the word ‘sect’ gets diluted
↳ 95 - To live the Christian faith denotes service to the person, as a whole and to all peoples, starting with those living on the margins
↳ 86 - When I have a clericalist in front of me I suddenly become anticlerical. Clericalism shouldn’t have any part in Christianity
↳ 79 - The candidates to the episcopate must be pastors, close to the people: this is the first criterion. A great theologian, a learned mind: let him go to the university! They must not have the mindset of princes
↳ 87 - We, the descendents of Abraham according to our faith in you, the one God, Jews, Christians and Muslims, humbly stand before you. May everything be to your glory and honor and for our salvation. Praise and eternal glory to you, our God!
↳ 78 - Real power is service - there is no other way in the Church. For the Christian, progress means humbling oneself
↳ 72 - I decided that the first thing to do was to appoint a group of eight cardinals to be my advisors. This is the beginning of a Church whose organization is not only vertical but also horizontal
↳ 84 - In the case of divorcees who have remarried, we posed the question, what do we do with them? What door can we allow them to open? Why can’t they be godfathers and godmothers? Things need to change
↳ 80 - It seems as if they rebel against God. Asking God ‘why?’ is also a prayer
↳ 83 - We take up this journey: Bishop and People. Before the Bishop blesses his people, I ask you to pray to the Lord that he will bless me.
↳ 59 - Who am I to judge? Religion has the right to express its opinion in the service of the people, but God in creation has set us free: it is not possible to interfere spiritually in the life of a person
↳ 73 - Many grave sins were committed against the native peoples of America in the name of God. I humbly ask forgiveness, not only for the offenses of the Church herself, but also for crimes committed against the native peoples during the so-called conquest of America.
↳ 35 - God is not a magician, capable of making everything
↳ 65 - If some of you don’t pray because you don’t believe or it goes against your conscience, please send positive vibes my way
↳ 63 - We must listen to the debates of our time and perceive the ‘fragrance’ of the men of this age; listen to the people until breathing in the will to which God calls us.
↳ 22 - The Divinity will be in every soul and everything will be in all
↳ 27 - God has saved a people. No one is saved alone, as an isolated individual
↳ 10 - God is the Spirit of the world and each one can interpret Him in his own way
↳ 15 - The exclusion of divorced people who contract a second marriage from communion is not a sanction. The Eucharist is not a prize for the perfect but a powerful medicine
↳ 57 - The Council of Jerusalem: Those on opposing sides and sowing discord entered into dialogue and reached an agreement. This formula is the work of the Holy Spirit who creates harmony among all
↳ 9 - One may not speak of absolute truths
↳ 8 - There is no Catholic God
↳ 49 - If the Christian is a restorationist, a legalist, if he wants everything clear and safe, then he will find nothing
↳ 38 - Being Pope doesn’t mean being the most important in the Church; we are all equal. I am somewhat unaware.
↳ 34 - The Church has the Sinful Habit of Focusing too much on Itself and being Self-Referential
↳ 39 - The court is the plague of the Papacy. The Church is or should go back to being a community of God’s people
↳ 150 - “Unity of teaching and practice is certainly necessary in the Church, but this does not preclude various ways of interpreting some aspects of that teaching or drawing certain consequences from it”
↳ 140 - “Do we love the Church as we love our mothers, also taking into account her defects? All mothers have defects. The Church also has her defects”
↳ 138 - “The Church is woman. Women, in the Church, are more important than bishops and priests”

↳ 2 - A rereading of the Gospel in light of contemporary culture
↳ 1 - Proselytism among Christians is in itself a grave sin
↳ 42 - If people are wounded, what does Jesus do? Does He rebuke them for being wounded? No, He comes and carries them on his shoulders

└ Evangelization ↳ 155 - “Any Church community, if it thinks it can comfortably go its own way without helping the poor will risk breaking down”
↳ 154 - “The Church has never been better. This is a wonderful moment for the Church”
↳ 153 - “The Church can sometimes fall into a needless hallowing of our own culture, and thus show more fanaticism than true evangelizing zeal”
↳ 141 - “This insidious worldliness is evident in a number of attitudes. In some people we see an ostentatious preoccupation for the liturgy, for doctrine and for the Church’s prestige”

↳ 116 - The thought comes to mind of the temptation of connecting the proclamation of the Gospel with inquisitorial blows. No, the Gospel is proclaimed with gentleness, with fraternity, with love
↳ 89 - When the Church becomes closed, she becomes an ailing Church, she falls ill! The Church must step outside herself. To the outskirts of existence, whatever they may be

↳ 47 - Being a minority is actually a strength. We have to be a leavening infinitely smaller than the mass. Our goal is not to proselytize but to listen to needs

↳ 100 - Life is complicated; it consists of grace and sin. He who does not sin is not human
↳ 29 - A community that is closed becomes ill. A community that does not go out, errs

Social Doctrine of the Church ↳ 160 - We implore God's pardon for the sins committed against the world in which we live
↳ 110 - Plagiarism? Manipulation? Prestidigitation? Francis’ peculiar concept of private property (I)
↳ 97 - I don’t believe that I have said anything not found in the Church’s social teaching
↳ 91 - For the Church, the option for the poor is a theological category. I want a Church which is poor and for the poor. The new evangelization is an invitation to acknowledge the saving power at work in their lives
↳ 82 - The hammer and sickle with Christ crucified: “For me it wasn’t an offense”
↳ 94 - Tell me who your friends are, and I will tell you who you are (II): “It is strange but, if I talk about this, some say that the Pope is communist”
