 Choose 

   “The refusal to take sides on great moral issues is itself a decision.  It is a silent acquiescence to the evil.” (Bishop Fulton J. Sheen) 

   Society frowns upon those who dare to speak up against the evil and sinfulness that is so prevalent.  They say it’s none of your business what others do, so just keep your mouth shut.  More and more those who speak up are ostracized and even threatened with legal action for professing their faith.

   The question is will we allow ourselves to be bullied into silence?  Will we have the courage and strength to stand up for what is right?  This decision becomes more and more important with each day we wait.  Even in the church we must expect and even demand that our priests, bishops and all the clergy, including the Pope preach the truth of God and quit trying to satisfy society.  Society cannot save us, only Jesus and His truths can lead us to heaven.

   “I foresee a day when the enemy will be both outside and inside the church.  And I pray for the poor faithful who will be caught in the crossfire.” (Cardinal John Henry Newman).  That day has come, that day is now.

   We, the laity, are caught in the middle of a great spiritual war and we must have the courage to stand and fight on the side of God.
