"This world in which we live needs beauty in order not to sink into despair. It is beauty, like truth, which brings joy to the heart of man and is that precious fruit which resists the year and tear of time, which unites generations and makes them share things in admiration."
Pope Paul VI led the Catholic Church from 1963 to 1978 and continued implementation of the Second Vatican Council. He is recognized for major reforms in modern Catholic life.
