CASTELGANDOLFO, Italy,
(NC) — The pope can be as
good and patient as possible,
said His Holiness Pope John
XXIII, but when it comes to a
matter of temporizing with evil
then he will be firm, clear and
immovable.
Speaking to thousands at a
general audience, the Pope cited
the example of St. John the
Baptist who sacrificed his life
for his faith in and loyalty to
God.
Everyone, said the Pope, can
and must draw from this a les
son for himself. Christian life
does not consist simply in prais
ing the Lord and honoring Him
by outward show, but in the
complete fulfillment of what is
prescribed in the 10 Command
ments which repeat, so clearly
and effectively, the natural law
imprinted in the heart of every

man.
It is a question of saying “no”
to evil in all its forms, the Pope
said. In daily life, one often
hears it said that the Church
could be more lenient, that it
could agree to a few small com
promises, the Pope noted. This
it can never do, he said.
The Pope can be good and
patient, he continued, but in the
face of sad realities, the miser
able acts of non-fulfillment, his
attitude, whatever the cost, will
be firm, clear and immovable
in compliance and in respect of
truth.
