QUOTATION: Respect for Others

If you don't accept that there are people with different opinions even opposing opinions, opinions that you don't share, and if you don't respect them or pray for them, you will never redeem them in your heart.  We must not let ideology trump morality.

--Pope Francis, Pope Francis: His Life in His Own Words

QUOTATION: Reconciliation and Authentic Respect

A correct reading of history will make it easier to accept and appreciate the social, cultural and religious differences between individuals and groups. This is the first step toward reconciliation, since respect for differences is an inherently necessary condition for genuine relationships between individuals and between groups. The suppression of differences can result in apparent peace, but it creates a volatile situation that is, in fact, the prelude to fresh outbreaks of violence.

--Pope John Paul II
