Pope John XXX III on unity, liberty and charity

In necessariis unitas, in dubiis libertas, in omnibus caritas. (Translated from the Latin as "unity in necessary things; liberty in doubtful things; charity in all things")

~ Pope John Paul XXIII in his encyclical Ad Petri Cathedram. The thought has been communicated by earlier theologians back to the 17th century and is is widely quoted in defence of theological and religious freedom.
