Marc Cardinal Ouellet - The Pope of Tomorrow ?

We present some more material on Marc Cardinal Ouellet, Archbishop of Quebec and Primate of the Catholic Church in Canada. We find that he presents views about the current world which need presenting by Christian religious leaders.

The Reawakening of Christians

"The dramatic situation of our society calls for a reawakening of Christians, and a great wind of hope, founded on He who carries not only values for the future, but carries the very future itself: “Though heaven and earth shall pass away, My words will stand.”

We live in a confused, depressive, and even suicidal society. Out of a hundred pregnancies, thirty-seven are interrupted by abortion. A society that barely gives life, and that gives death so easily, reveals that it is profoundly sick, that it no longer enjoys the beautiful adventure of life. Some sociologists warn us that the social fabric has deteriorated in an alarming way. A climate of inter-generational tension and a rise of violence accompany the breakup of the family, the dropping out of school, the epidemic of suicides that decimate the young generations."


His motto is "Ut unum sint" [that they all be one]
