Quotes from the movie "Conclave"
"In the course of a long life in the service of our Mother the Church, let me tell you that there is one sin I have come to fear above all others.
Certainty is the great enemy of unity. Certainty is the deadly enemy of tolerance. Even Christ was not certain at the end.
โDio mio, Dio mio, perchรฉ mi hai abbandonato?"
โMy God, my God, why have you forsaken me?โ
He cried out in His agony at the ninth hour on the cross. Our faith is a living thing precisely because it walks hand in hand with doubt.
If there was only certainty, and if there was no doubt, there would be no mystery, and therefore no need for faith.
Let us pray that God will grant us a Pope who doubts. Let Him grant us a Pope who sins and asks for forgiveness.
- Cardinal Thomas Lawrence
With respect... what do you know about war?
I carried out my ministry in the Congo, in Baghdad and Kabul. I have seen the lines of the dead and wounded, Christian AND Muslim.
When you say โwe have to fightโ - what is it you think weโre fighting? You think itโs those deluded men who have carried out these terrible acts today. No my brother.
The thing youโre fighting is here... inside each and every one of us, if you give into hate now, if we speak of โsidesโ instead of speaking for every man and woman.
This is my first time amongst you and I suppose it will be my last. Forgive me, but these last few days we have shown ourselves to be small and petty men. We have seemed concerned only with ourselves, with Rome, with these elections, with power.
But these things are not the Church. The Church is not a tradition. The Church is not the past. The Church is what we do next."
-Cardinal Vincent Benitez
