Question Quotes

...for the question is of will, and not, as the insanity of logic has assumed of power.

In every system of theology, therefore, there is a chapter De libero arbitrio.

First of all, you ask me if the God of Christians forgives one who doesn't believe and doesn't seek the faith. Premise that - and it's the fundamental thing - the mercy of God has no limits if one turns to him with a sincere and contrite heart; the question for one who doesn't believe in God lies in obeying one's conscience.
Pope Francis
