“proclaim the truth and suffer for the truth, and if necessary, even die for the truth.”

“The role of the priest is to proclaim the truth and suffer for the truth, and if necessary, even die for the truth.” – Polish priest-martyr Jerzy Popieluszko

Jim Kushiner from Touchstone Magazine has written a powerful essay interacting with a new documentary on the life and death of Jerzy Popieluszko, a Polish priest in the 1980’s. Kushiner examines the work of Popieluszko as an example of how Christians should stand firm, not in hatred but in love. There is much wisdom (& challenge!) for us here concerning living in challenging times.
