By David Warren, The Catholic Thing - For arrogance is a terrible crime, when uttered from a pulpit, and so is cowardice. To be silent when St. Michael and the Angels have been summoning our attention to an outrage against Christ, is arrogance in reverse. The priest’s task is to speak with the angels; to make himself heard in the world... The consequences of not doing so are, for him we may be sure, worse than any risk he could be taking with unfashionable views.
