More Quotes from Pope Pius XII:
Salvation and justice are not to be found in revolution, but in evolution through concord. Violence has ever achieved only destruction, not construction the kindling of passions, not their pacification the accumulation of hate and destruction, not the reconciliation of the contending parties and it has reduced men and parties to the difficult task of building slowly after sad experience on the ruins of discord.Pope Pius XII

Pope Pius XII
Private property is a natural fruit of labor, a product of intense activity of man, acquired through his energetic determination to ensure and develop with his own strength his own existence and that of his family, and to create for himself and his own an existence of just freedom, not only economic, but also political, cultural and religious.
Pope Pius XII
