The Christian message is not a prophecy of condemnation. It calls to penance in order to call to salvation. It is not bitter. It is not ill-tempered. It is not discourteous. It is not ironic. It is not pessimistic. It is generous. It is strong and joyful. It is full of beauty and poetry. It is full of vigor and majesty. Indeed, it raises the Cross: suffering, sacrifice, death, but only to bring comfort, redemption, and life." (Paul VI)
