Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke stated that it is “critical at this time that Christians stand up for the natural moral law,” especially in defense of life and the family. The Prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura warned about the possibility of religious persecution in the United States.

Using the testimony of pagan authors, Saint Augustine argues that irreligion and immorality were the true cause of Rome’s downfall.

Recurring tragedies throughout the world today give examples from Syria where the government fires on its own citizens at night from tanks and snipers to the terrible famine in the horn of Africa. When man suffers, he naturally turns somewhere for consolation. Christ would have us turn to Him.
