I prefer a Church which is bruised, hurting and dirty because it has been out on the streets, rather than a Church which is unhealthy from being confined and from clinging to its own security.
Pope Francis

Dorothy Day

John Pavlovitz
The measure of a society in found in how they treat their weakest and most helpless citizens.
Jimmy Carter
Any talk about God that fails to make God's liberation of the oppressed as its starting point is not Christian.
James Cone
When the Church hears the cry of the oppressed it cannot but denounce the social structures that give rise to and perpetuate the misery from which the cry arises.
Oscar Romero
