“Christianity is the only faith whose founder died for His followers in order to enable them to escape the consequences of their sins.”

“It would be unjust toward children to introduce them to Christian teaching and existence only as little pagans and catechumens, in order to leave it up to them to choose the Faith on their own responsibility at a point in time difficult to determine.”

“Christian faith, as I understand it, is not primarily a matter of signing on for the proposition that there exists a Supreme Being, but the kind of commitment made manifest by a human being at the end of his tether, foundering in darkness, pain, and bewilderment, who nevertheless remains faithful to the promise of a transformative love.”

“BE THE FOUNDER, NOT THE FOLLOWER”

“And this is one of the most crucial definitions for the whole of Christianity; that the opposite of sin is not virtue but faith.”

“Christian - One who follows the teachings of Christ insofar as they are not inconsistent with a life of sin.”
