One belongs to the Church, above all, by faith, by the integral profession of faith, by the integral profession of the faith of the Church. Just as one belongs to a nation because one speaks the same language, shares the same identity and the same culture; just as one belongs to a family because one bears the same surname and lives in the same house; so too one belongs to the Church because one professes the same faith.
More quotes by Davide Pagliarani
And all of this is not an opinion, nor a sensibility, nor an option: it is a necessity.
When the time comes, we will know how to take up our responsibilities, in conscience.
