• "The teachings of the Catholic Church do not favor divorce, saying that what God has put together let no man put asunder. Divorce spawns a host of problems especially for children. It weakens the institution of marriage....Let us not move towards weakening marriage but instead endeavor to encourage maturity, fidelity, self sacrifice, respect and follow the right path in all our human relationships especially in building up families, the foundation of society" (Roman Catholic Diocese of Balanga (Phillipines)).

• "In Europe, in America, in Latin America, in Africa, in some countries of Asia, there are ideological colonizations. And one of these – I say it clearly with name and surname ' is gender! Today children, children are taught this in school that one can choose one’s sex! And why do they teach this?  Because the books are those of individuals and institutions that give money. They are ideological colonizations, supported also by very influential countries. And this is terrible....We must think about what Pope Benedict said: [']It’s the time of the sin against God the Creator!'" (Pope’s Dialogue With Polish Bishops, 8/4/16)

• "Evil is a mystery. It culminates in horrific moments that takes us beyond what is human. Is not that what you meant, Jacques, with your last words? You fell to the ground after the first stab; you tried to push your attacker with your feet, and you said, 'Go away, Satan.' Again you said, 'Begone, Satan.'  In this you expressed your faith in humanity, created good, but gripped by the devil.  'Jesus healed all who were oppressed by the devil,' says the Gospel.  This is not to excuse the murderers — those who make a pact with the devil! But we must uphold with Jesus that every man, every woman, every human person ca[n] change his heart with His grace" (Archbishop Dominique Lebrun at the funeral Mass of Father Jacques Hamel, 8/2/16).
