Quotes

  • There is a lot of talk about the so-called "European values," but we Europeans no longer know who we are. A thousand years ago, despite many battles, many betrayals, there was Christianity as a common factor to unify us. Europe was based on Christianity. Now, this common base no longer exists. We are united only by the market, by money; it has become very difficult to cement Europe. On what? Who are we? We do not know. How can we oppose Russia's expansionist ambitions if we do not know who we are, if we do not remain united in our historical foundation, which is Christianity?
  • Europe does not want to listen to Poland, and even less does it want to listen to the Church. I think that Europe will look at us with respect and listen to our voice – I am talking about Poland, the Polish Church – as long as we as a nation remain faithful to the Church, Christ and the Gospel. Seeing our steadfastness, our constancy in lasting to Christian values, we may make them to be surprised, but they will certainly ask us why we are like this.
