Honesty dictates that we who profess to be Catholic and followers of Jesus Christ must acknowledge our responsibility for the sorry state of the world today. Had we not remained silent in the face of evil and had we lived what we profess to believe, our world would be totally different.
These are indeed difficult and troubling times.
Ponder these challenging words uttered by Korean martyr and priest, St. Andrew Kim Taegon, more than one hundred and seventy years ago:
What a timely reminder!
Since we were unwilling to live and defend the Truths of our faith when doing so was relatively easy and without adverse consequences, we must make amends now and beg God for the grace to be willing to suffer for standing firmly at His side.

I have gotten to wondering if we are talking to the wall when we implore and warn and exhort and challenge our Christian brethren to live AND TO VOTE according to godly principles. And yet so many in the pews vote passionately for people who spit in Christ's face with their entrenched positions on such critical issues as abortion and sexual perversions. How can it be that their hatred of President Trump so trumped (no pun intended) their reasonable service for Christ and voted to continue the killing and the perversion of even school children? No wonder the Lord Jesus threatened to vomit the church at Laodicea out of His mouth. (Revelation 3)
