"I am a Catholic man and a priest; in that Faith I have lived and in that Faith do I intend to die. If you esteem my religion treason, then I am guilty; as for the other treason, I have never committed any, God is my judge." - Response of St. Edmund at his execution to charges of treason, 1581
“Between optimism and pessimism, there is confidence in God.”
“We human beings are story-tellers, we pass on our values through the stories we tell. This is particularly true of Catholics, who get their identity through their histories, which they see as salvation history linking them to the saving actions of Christ. So, for Catholics, doing history – passing on the values by telling stories – is a pastoral imperative. We must look where we have been in order to know where we are going.”
