What is lacking among many Catholics and Christians is the courage of speaking about their faith. We often speak about the college or the university where we studied. We are happy to speak about the achievements in our career.But when it comes to something far more important in life , we become very silent and inarticulate. How many times we have missed in speaking about our faith in Jesus Christ!
As the Holy Father,Pope Benedict has pointed out in his new book,"The Light of the World" ,Christians are suffering from a spirit of negative tolerance. Thinking of not offending any one, one becomes silent when it is needed to speak up about one's faith.
This is not to create conflicts or arguments but to clarify certain obfuscations created by the so-called intelligentia. A physicist would clarify certain theories in Physics when they are misinterpreted.So too a believer in Christ should give the right interpretations of his belief when it is misrepresented.
