Pope Clement's words hit the spot

Wise words, written a long time ago. Surely they apply perfectly to our world today.

Let us clothe ourselves in a mutual tolerance of one another's views, cultivating humanity and self-restraint, avoiding all gossiping and backbiting, and earning our justification by deeds and not by words.

A letter written by Pope St Clement I to the Corinthians. Clement was pope from 88 to 99.
