“When I was 4 years old in 1940, the idea was that all Protestants were going to hell. I was going down the street with my grandmother and there were two women from the Salvation Army on the other side of the street. I said, ‘Who are they? Monks, nuns?’ My grandmother said: ‘No, they are Protestants. But they are good people.’ So that opened me up to ecumenism.”
— Pope Francis, speaking Dec. 12 at the Vatican
