“A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him, saying, 'You are mad; you are not like us.” ― St. Antony the Great
Quote from “The Dialogue” of St Catherine of Siena; God the Eternal Father speaking: “Because of the dignity and authority I have give them [priests], it never has nor ever will be my will that the hand of civil law should touch them for any sin of theirs. To do so would be a wretched offense against me. No, it is my will that they be held in due reverence, not for what they are in themselves, but for my sake, because of the authority I have given them. […] You ought to despise and hate the ministers’ sins, and try to dress them in the new clothes of charity and holy prayer, and wash away their filth with your tears. In other words, you should hold them out to me with tears and great desire, so that I in my goodness may clothe them with the garment of charity. […] But you are not to judge them. Leave the judging to me, and I, because of your prayers and my own desire, will be merciful to them. If they will not change their ways, the dignity they have will be their destruction." pp. 229-231
