No. All He does is save us. In the end, God saves us. And He saves us with a kiss.”

“Like happiness, like intelligence Like God. When I was a boy a man took advantage of me. And as he did so, he would say: 'God does not exist.' And I would answer back, in God's place: Even if He doesn't exist, we desperately need to believe He is there. ”

“You will come to me and you will tell me all this suffering in the world. And I will say to you: they are all hysterias of love. Distortions of our ability to love. The problem, brothers, is love. The question, then, is: how are we to love? This is my way: with tenderness, without passion. Passion is the eternal enemy of humility. Christian humility, which is frugal, is just and is necessary. Love is an abstraction, like intelligence, like happiness. Every time our judgment is beclouded by the ardent passions that consume us, we give love a dangerous concreteness, a scandalous concreteness, an illegal concreteness. In short, we are causing pain. To ourselves, and to others. Replace that concrete love with tenderness.”
— Giovanni Paolo III / Sir John Brannox, The New Pope, Season 1: Episode 3
