Monday Musings - Catholics In Name Only?

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.

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.
