More From Pope Francis

That the religious right completely took over the word christian is a given. at one time, phrases such as christian charity and christian tolerance were used to denote kindness and compassion. to perform a "christian" act meant an act of giving, of acceptance, of toleration. now, christian is invariably linked to right-wing conservative political thought -- christian nation, christian morality, christian values, christian family.

A christian boy or girl can learn mathematics, for example, from a teacher who is not a christian; and truth is truth however learned. but while truth is truth however learned, the bearing of truth, the meaning of truth, the purpose of truth, even in the sphere of mathematics, seem entirely different to the christian from that which they seem to the non-christian; and that is why a truly christian education is possible only when christian conviction underlies not a part but all, of the curriculum of the school.

There was a time when only specialized christian missionaries needed to be able to defend the gospel of jesus christ against the attacks of islam. today every christian has an opportunity and obligation to present the gospel effectively and in christian love to the muslims who have permeated our western society. when your neighbor, your mechanic, your favorite basketball player, your employer or employee, or even your children's friends could very well be muslims, the need for proper understanding and an effective christian witness is abundantly clear.

Witness testimony is always flawed. it's better than circumstantial evidence, sure, but people aren't camcorders; they don't record every action and reaction, and the very act of remembering involves chosing words, actions and images. in other words, any witness who was supposed to be giving a court facts is really just giving them a version of fiction.

It's like if you plant something in the concrete and if it grow and the rose petal got all kinds of scratches and marks, you ain't gonna say, 'damn, look at all the scratches and marks on the rose that grew from the concrete.' you're gonna be like, 'damn, a rose grew from the concrete?'

For the virtuoso, musical works are in fact nothing but tragic and moving materializations of his emotions; he is called upon to make them speak, weep, sing and sigh, to recreate them in accordance with his own consciousness. in this way he, like the composer, is a creator, for he must have within himself those passions that he wishes to bring so intensely to life.
