The Christian is entitled to be glad in his faith. Without the good news of faith, human existence does not survive in the long run. The joy of faith is its responsibility: we should seize it with new courage in this hour of our history.

—Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger

from his book, A Turning Point for Europe?
