If we are going to stand for the Truth and not just believe the Truth we need to do the correct and right things. I meet people today, some of them trained in good Seminaries, who think that to be clever in a cunning way is the right thing to do because that is what other people do. This is nonsense...! We need to stand for the Truth by doing the correct and right things as well as believing.
