Someone has said words to the effect that all it takes for evil to flourish is for good people to say nothing. Thank God for people like Fr. Cullen. In our own country we all, not just bishops, need to speak up about the dangers looming because we all are the Church. Also, in spite of its imperfections, thank God for a free press and the many courageous reporters and correspondents who are repeatedly scapegoated and sometimes even risk their lives to report what is really going on. They, too, are in danger of being cowed into silence.
