The Church does not invent sins but recognizes the will of God and has to declare it. Of course, the great thing... is that upon the Church, which has to declare the will of God in its full magnitude, in its unconditional rigor, so that man should know his true measure, is bestowed as a gift, at the same time, the task of forgiving. - Joseph Ratzinger
