I Have A Sweet Tooth For Song

Today, For The First Time In History, A Bishop Of Rome Sets Foot On English Soil. This Fair Land, Once A Distant Outpost Of The Pagan World, Has Become, Through The Preaching Of The Gospel, A Beloved And Gifted Portion Of Christ's Vineyard.

When Sunday Loses Its Fundamental Meaning And Becomes Subordinate To A Secular Concept Of Weekend Dominated By Such Things As Entertainment And Sport, People Stay Locked Within A Horizon So Narrow That They Can No Longer See The Heavens.

I Kiss The Soil As If I Placed A Kiss On The Hands Of A Mother, For The Homeland Is Our Earthly Mother. I Consider It My Duty To Be With My Compatriots In This Sublime And Difficult Moment.

Faced With The Sacredness Of Life And Of The Human Person, And Before The Marvels Of The Universe, Wonder Is The Only Appropriate Attitude.

Christ Assigns As A Duty To Every Man The Dignity Of Every Woman: And Simultaneously... He Also Assigns To Every Woman The Dignity Of Every Man.
