Liberty

My copy of "Evangelization in the Modern World" helped me to kill a spider in my car today, which is pretty bold for me and bugs, so the Lord only knows what sort of boldness it will inspire in my mission! When the Pope says things like this, how can I deny my call?

It would certainly be an error to impose something on the consciences of our brethren. But to propose Jesus Christ, with complete clarity and with a total respect for the free options which it presents--"without coercion, or dishonorable or unworthy pressure"--far from being an attack on religious liberty is fully to respect that liberty, which is offered the choice of a way that even non-believeers consider noble and uplifting. Is it then a crime against others' freedom to proclaim with joy a Good News which one has come to know through the Lord's mercy? And why should only falsehood and error, debasement and pornography have the right to be put before people and often unfortunately imposed on them by the destructive propaganda of the mass media, by the tolerance of legislation, the timidity of the good and the impudence of the wicked? The respectful presentation of Christ and His kingdom is more than the evangelizer's right; it is his duty.
