(now His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI)
"No one goes to Church to hear someone's personal opinions. I am not interested in what fantasies this or that individual priest may have spun for himself regarding questions of Christian faith. Anyone who preaches himself in this way overrates himself and attributes to himself an importance he does not have. Only by letting himself become unimportant can the priest make himself truly important because, in that way, he becomes the gateway of the Lord into this world."-From Principles of Catholic Theology, 1982
