The elementary power of the masses, deftly managed and employed, the state also can utilize: in the ambitious hands of one or of several who have been artificially brought together for selfish aims, the state itself, with the support of the masses, reduced to the minimum status of a mere machine, can impose its whims on the better part of the real people: the common interest remains seriously, and for a long time, injured by this process, and the injury is very often hard to heal. (Pius XII: Democracy and a Lasting Peace)
Sadly, we won’t have another pope like Papa Pacelli.
Wonderful…
Beautiful.
Theodorus,
Let’s pray that one day we will…
In the meantime,
Ven. Pius XII, pray for us
Mogrin, maybe we get the Pope that we need depending on the circumstances in the world at the time.
