The enemy doesn't need to find a wide-open door when he can count on the negligence of the one who received the responsibility to keep it shut.

It is not necessary to look for battles, but it is unacceptable to abandon the position when what has been entrusted to us is under threat. Some conversations need to happen precisely because they are difficult. Some boundaries need to be established precisely because their absence produces consequences. And some positions need to be taken even when it costs reputation, opportunities or peace of mind.

The question, therefore, is not only what is happening to society or to the Church. It is also what each man is doing in the face of what he sees.
