Cowardice asks the question: is it safe? Expediency asks the question: is it politic? Vanity asks the question: is it popular? But conscience asks the question: is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular – but one must take it simply because it is right. – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
So far, our still new-ish Pope seems to be popular and righteous. Just when I was sure that there was nothing good left to hope for in Catholicism--along comes a Pope to admire. Go figure.
