Some people say that religion promises a better life if you put up with much more than human dignity should allow. The fact of a further reward does not exempt people from the obligation to fight for personal, social, ethical rights, for the Homeland, for humanity. If a person tolerates things without fighting for his rights, hoping for paradise, he is indeed under the effects of opium...Catholic Doctrine says that human affairs have their own autonomy, that God gives it to them, and that one cannot exempt oneself from progressing by using paradise as an excuse. One has to fight for progress in every area: moral, scientific, educational and labor. We need to fight to keep from being drugged with opium. (Pope Francis/ Gorge Bergoglio, On Heaven and Earth, Page 154)
