"God forbid, we tell them right off the bat that they are called to live a life of chastity; they may run for the hills and won’t ever feel welcome in the church. I say, let them run then. Not because I don’t desire their coming to Christ, but because the churches job is to be the arbiter of truth. What good is their presence in the church if we’ve misguided their soul?"
“Futility and ineffectiveness do not dispense one from speaking the truth, declaring what is wrong, and standing up for what is right and just. … Whoever considers success or makes his decisions or attitudes dependent upon whether something is futile or certain of success, is already corrupt"........Father Alfred Delp.
