Speaking the Truth in Charity

This address offers a traditional Catholic reflection on the growing hostility toward truth in contemporary society, especially the suppression of speech that upholds natural and divine law. It affirms that true freedom of speech is not rooted in modern political theory but in the dignity of the human person created by God. Drawing on Scripture, the lives of the saints, and the witness of Christ Himself, the speaker calls Catholics to speak the truth — always with clarity, conviction, and charity. In a world that punishes fidelity to the Gospel, silence is no longer an option. To speak the truth in charity is not only an act of love — it is a duty of faith.
