"John Paul II took up the saying 'Do not be afraid, have no fear of Christ' in one of his first addresses as Pope. I would say that this is a thread that ought to run throughout Christianity. We do not need to be afraid of this God, as if he were going to take something away from us or to threaten us, for it is from him that we have the security that overcomes even death."
-Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger in God and the World.
