"It's sad when there are people that bow before human power and forget the need to love, which is the great power with which revolutions are made. We, priests, are also to blame for this, because we have often talked about politics instead of Christ. It's true that in dramatic circumstances it's necessary to do so, but once the exceptional situations are surmounted, political freedom must be an integral part of the human person."
