"Goodness, patriotism, honesty and loyalty are losing their battles not by conflict, but by default. Those who are called to be defenders of what is right are not wounded in the battle: they flee. Courage has always been in the past the attribute of those who have faith: now the moral leaders become defenders only of the feeble. They are afraid to speak on vital truths to their troops, fearful that they may incite a revolt or be unloved. The result is "every man does what is right in his own eyes [or politically expedient]." . . . In the area of religion [as is politics], the secret of courage is: "I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me." Responsibilities are no longer burdensome if one realizes that the Divine works in us. Want of courage is want of Faith." ~Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, Courageous Leaders *Dont Flee! Stand for Truth!
