Pope Francis told his public audience on June 28 that “the proclamation of the Kingdom of God always involves opposition,” and “the confession of faith always takes place in a climate of hostility.”
This comment is following two previous comments of a similar vein - one concerned with the Church requiring mystics and saints and one mentioning the call to holy suffering. It is good to hear.
