Quotes

“Once the calculation is made of who and what has changed this country so much, ours will hardly be particularly thought of. Or in a way that we won't like very much. ”(December 1989)

“Indeed, this Pope in particular would have had a kind of humility towards the historical responsibility of the Church. Because the Christian churches of both denominations first brought the foundations of the Holocaust , anti-Judaism , into the world. ”(December 2012)
