We shouldn't any of us be afraid of teaching protective measures to save lives.

I would be with those who say the hierarchy in the United States has badly mishandled this whole situation.

Our concerns aren't always appropriate or morally elevated.

We must not reduce the bosom of the universal church to a nest protecting our mediocrity.

Healthy children will not fear life if their elders have integrity enough not to fear death.

Fear is not a lasting teacher of duty.

What I've learned is that unless it's an emergency, like a fire or brain surgery, hierarchy is not necessary and may be damaging. If you have a hierarchy, you're repeating the strengths and weaknesses of one person without allowing for the accumulative strength of a group.

There can be no security where there is fear.

One should never forbid what one lacks the power to prevent.
