"[T]he Church believes and affirms that all human beings—created in the image and likeness of God and recreated in the Son, who became man, was crucified, and rose again—are called to grow under the action of the Holy Spirit to reflect the glory of the Father in that same image and to share in eternal life."
— Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, Dignitas Infinita

"Only by recognizing an intrinsic and inalienable dignity in every human being can we guarantee a secure and inviolable foundation for that quality. Without any ontological grounding, the recognition of human dignity would vacillate at the mercy of varying and arbitrary judgments."
— Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, Dignitas Infinita

"[H]uman dignity cannot be based on merely individualistic standards, nor can it be identified with the psychophysical well-being of the individual. Rather, the defense of human dignity is based on the constitutive demands of human nature, which do not depend on individual arbitrariness or social recognition. Therefore, the duties that stem from recognizing the dignity of the other and the corresponding rights that flow from it have a concrete and objective content based on our shared human nature. Without such an objective basis, the concept of dignity becomes de facto subject to the most diverse forms of arbitrariness and power interests."
— Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, Dignitas Infinita

"[I]t would be a grave error to think that by distancing ourselves from God and his assistance, we could somehow be freer and thus feel more dignified. Instead, detached from the Creator, our freedom can only weaken and become obscured."
— Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, Dignitas Infinita

"The illusion that moral relativism provides the key for peaceful coexistence is actually the origin of divisions and the denial of the dignity of human beings."
— Pope Benedict XVI, Message for the Celebration of the World Day of Peace, January 1st, 2011

"If a society is governed primarily by the criteria of market freedom and efficiency, there is no place for such persons, and fraternity will remain just another vague ideal."
— Pope Francis, On Fraternity and Social Friendship

"It is better to help people flourish in their culture than to encourage them to come to a Europe in full decadence."

"[O]nce we see these differences [between Christianity and other religions], we realize that Jesus’ claims aren’t in the least arrogant, but simply a statement of incontrovertible fact... Jesus is the only way to the Father, because he’s the only one who even teaches us that God the Creator is our Father."
— John Bergsma, The Word of the Lord: Reflections on the Sunday Mass Readings for Year B

"Jesus was rejected by the religious leaders of his own day, even though he was the source of salvation. In a mysterious way, many saints have shared in Jesus’s rejection, being spurned by those with power... One has to accept it in total abandonment to the mysterious will of God, and exercise faith that there is resurrection on the other side of this kind of painful personal “death,” as there was for Christ himself."

If you want to have a better understanding of how Catholics should approach the issue of race, take a look at Fr. Gregory Pine's video "Should We Love Everyone the Same?" and take the logic pertaining to one's immediate family and apply it to your extended family (racial group, ethnicity).

"The birth rate is the first indicator of a people’s hope. Without children and young people, a country loses its drive for the future."
— Pope Francis

"An angel appeared to three shepherd children in Portugal in 1916. This was to prepare them for an extraordinary event that would happen soon in Fatima. It would change their lives, and yours, forever."

"You see hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. In order to save sinners from falling into hell, God wants to establish in the world the devotion to my immaculate heart. If you do what I tell you, many souls will be saved. There will be peace."

"The migrant has to be received, thereafter you see how you're going to deal with them. Maybe you have to send the back, I don't know, but each case ought to be considered humanely."
— Pope Francis
