The Jewish religion is not extrinsic, but in a certain way intrinsic to our own religion. Therefore, we have a relationship which we do not have with any other religion. You are our dearly beloved brothers, and, in a certain way, it can be said that you are our elder brothers.

— Pope John Paul II

There is no true peace without fairness, truth, justice and solidarity.

Truth can never be confined to time and culture; in history it is known, but it also reaches beyond history.

Fides et Ratio (1998)

As the family goes, so goes the nation, and so goes the whole world in which we live.

The moral life presents itself as the response due to the many gratuitous initiatives taken by God out of love for man.

Veritatis Splendor (1993)
