"There is a Providence which decides human destinies and Who, most of the time, makes the oppressors of the weak pay dearly for their sin by allowing them in turn to be oppressed by others." "Divine Providence, in its own good time, will defend the innocent." "Only a villain would treat an innocent priest as though he were a criminal." "All past persecutors of the Church are now no more, but the Church still lives on. The same fate awaits modern persecutors; they, too, will pass on, but the Church of Jesus Christ will always remain, for God has pledged His Word to protect Her and be with Her forever, until the end of time." "Many people [in authority] oppose us, persecute us, and would like even to destroy us, but we must be patient. As long as their commands are not against our conscience, let us obey them, but when the case is otherwise, let us uphold the rights of God and of the Church, for those are superior to all earthly authority." "The true Christian should be willing to endure the sufferings of
the spirit as Jesus Christ did when He was betrayed by one of His disciples,
denied by another, and abandoned by all."
