THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND SPORTS
"Sports in the community can be a great missionary tool, where the church is close to every person to help them become better and to meet Jesus Christ."
"Sport is a human activity of great value, able to enrich people's lives. As far as the Catholic Church is concerned she is working in the world of sport to bring the joy of the Gospel, the inclusive and unconditional love of God for all human beings."– Pope Francis
