“Really living like Christ will not mean reward, social recognition and an assured income, but difficulties, discrimination, solitude, anxiety.

–Dorothee Sölle, Germany

“Marx did not invent class struggle—much less did we. It’s out there. And any true pastoral activity will be conflictive as is the gospel itself. To opt for the poor of the earth means opting in a saving manner ‘against’ the rich of this world.”
–Pedro Casaldáliga, Brazil
