St. Boniface House

“I believe with all my heart that the constant temptation to betray the gospel, a temptation amply displayed by the history of the church, cannot be resisted in our day by Christians trying to imitate the false humility of tolerance. Rather, the only resource for Christians to resist the ideological distortions of our faith–distortions all the more tempting because to be ’self-servingly dramatic’ seems a better alternative than to be boring–is our faith in the God to whom Christ prays on the cross.”
