“Dzieje się coś niedobrego. Przywiązanie do własnych przekonań i głębokość tych przekonań są płytsze. Łatwiej się je zmienia. (…) Ludzie, u których silny jest pewien etos, nie mają dziś w polityce łatwo.”

“Ja słucham czasem Radia Maryja i rzeczywiście jest to przerażające. Oglądam TV Trwam i jest jednostronna. O Polsce dzisiejszej mówi się tam tylko w kategoriach negatywnych. Przedstawia się Polskę jako kraj stający na krawędzi jakiejś katastrofy, nie mówiąc już o zagrożeniach dla Kościoła, które ktoś specjalnie tworzy. Więc pod tym względem przekaz jest nie tylko jednostronny, ale i nieprawdziwy.”

“Ku tej szkodliwej działalności kierowały ks. bp. Kaczmarka i współoskarżonych poglądy prowadzące do utożsamiania wiary ze wsteczną postawą społeczną, a dobra Kościoła z trwałością i interesem ustroju kapitalistycznego. Z tego stanowiska wynikało wiązanie się z imperialistyczną i nastawioną na wojnę polityką rządu Stanów Zjednoczonych.”
