Quote of the Day (Pope Francis, on the “Fruits” of Public Statements)

“We can recognize the truth of statements from their fruits: whether they provoke quarrels, foment division, encourage resignation; or, on the other hand, they promote informed and mature reflection leading to constructive dialogue and fruitful results.” —Pope Francis, on fake news, in “Message of His Holiness Pope Francis for World Communications Day,” Jan. 24, 2018
