Jean-Marie Cardinal Lustiger Quotes

“I was born Jewish. I received the name of my paternal grandfather, Aaron. Having become Christian by faith and baptism, I have remained Jewish. As did the Apostles.”

Jean-Marie Cardinal Lustiger

Requested epitaph, quoted in The Economist obituary, August 18th 2007, p. 76
