When I was stationed in Germany, I found myself at a Catholic church in Regensburg. It seems that the priest there spoke out regularly against hitler. The SS showed up, drug him out into the street and cut out his tongue. Some monks took him back into the church cared for him and bronzed his tongue. It was there on display.
Yes, and there are millions of instances like this..that is why God grants special honor to those who STAND UP for HIS CHURCH! and it was restored in Heaven!
If people would only do a little research on their church background they would see who is their Founder..and learn that the Church founded by Christ,is the only one Church HE Personally founded,I think this is what the Pope is trying to say.
