La revisione del Concordato nel 1984 fu una necessità... Penso che su certi punti oggi avrei fatto una cosa diversa. In una società democratica gli interessi legittimi delle varie componenti, compresa quella cattolica, possono essere regolati attraverso la legge. — From an interview published by L'Unità (January 27, 1994). As quoted in Mario A. Manacorda, Scuola pubblica o privata?, Editori Riuniti, Roma, 1999, p. 94.
