The Truth Shall Set You Free

The real Thomas More would have found Bolt’s reasoning incomprehensible. More believed in the existence of truth – not just “my” truth or “your” truth, but the truth, God’s universal and enduring truth – regardless of our personal opinions. For More, that truth resides with unique beauty and authority in the Catholic Church, and we owe her teachings our loyalty, without reservations, if we claim to be Catholic. Which is why he died for her, and why his fidelity remains a model for us in every season: the good, the bad. . . And our own. Something to remember in the days ahead.
