Sorry

The apology that doesn't ask for forgiveness

A society in which everyone is quick to take offense and no one is willing to admit fault, humbly ask for forgiveness, or grant it, eventually becomes suffocating. Every mistake becomes a stigma, every ill-chosen word a condemnation with no end in sight.

I believe in the Church, which is One

Diversity is a richness for the Church, which is a mother; and her children, who are brothers and sisters by faith, are capable of discovering the experience of community in every corner of the world where they meet another baptized person.
