"No sword of their own won the land; no arm of their own brought them victory. It was Your right hand, Your arm and the light of Your face: for You loved them"(Psalm 44). The humble and holy ones overcome the powers of evil, because they rely not upon themselves but upon the grace of God. They are humble and realize their need for God. For, no sheer act of will can make a man a hero; only humble cooperation with God's grace can do this. Ask God to make you a saint. He will!

As Cardinal of Buenos Aires, Pope Francis' statements were very much in accord with the natural moral law and against "gay marriage" so called. As Sophocles--through Antigone--said of the natural law: These live for all time !
