"If the 'New Evangelization' is going to counter mass media-produced distortions of religious and ethical reality successfully...[the Church is] going to have to become far more informed about the challenge of evangelizing in a world dominated by mass media."

"There are more important things in the universe than immigration... When we think about the big questions—life and death, heaven and hell, judgment, and what it means to be human—there are things bigger than immigration policy... The White race is great, but it's still human... At the end of the day we're still human, we still die."

"Paul VI, however, did not assert—and indeed the end of his text clearly implies the opposite—that the Council had in no way involved infallibility. Infallibility is involved to the extent that it is linked to the supreme ordinary Magisterium."

"A theological note (nota theologica) is a brief description of how a proposition relates to divine revelation. This includes its relation to the magisterium and often also the level of certainty the proposition currently enjoys in theological science. Such brief descriptions are called “notes” because they serve as indicators and are used to classify the propositions to which they are attached."

"The contemporary magisterium applies notes at three levels: dogmas de fide credenda (dogmas of faith that “must be believed”), doctrines de fide tenenda (doctrines of faith that “must be held”), and teachings to which “religious submission of will and intellect” is owed. The last of these covers a broad range of teachings of greater or lesser weight. While it may be helpful for theologians to identify more specific notes for teachings of this third category, the magisterium usually has no need for such precision."
