We stand beneath the cross

 Besides apathy and antipathy, there was empathy, the few chosen souls at the foot of the cross. You see, the cross unites not only the friends of our Lord, the cross unites enemies. We will begin to see as the world goes on, a new kind of bigotry.  We will be opposed not because we believe, for example, in the supremacy of the Holy Father, but because we are standing in the way of the demoralization of the world.  We stand for life against death. We stand for the family against divorce.  We stand for purity against fornication. We stand for goodness instead of vice. We are the great obstacle to the world.  The new bigotry will see that cross and will hate us. So we have to be prepared for it, and we have to take our stand underneath it.
