"You strayed from the way and did not return because you were ashamed. It would be more logical if you were ashamed not to return."

Previous Quote

Christian mothers, if only you knew the future of distress and peril, of shame ill-restrained, that you prepare for your sons and daughters in imprudently accustoming them to live hardly clothed and in making them lose the sense of modesty, you should be ashamed of yourselves and of the harm done the little ones whom heaven entrusted to your care, to be reared in Christian dignity and culture.

— Pope Pius XII
