Speaking Without Guile in an Age That Profits From Outrage

Most unrighteous speech online is not driven by hatred but by fear. Fear of losing ground or watching what we cherish decay. When fear governs the heart, the tongue follows recklessly. But perfect love casts out fear. As Catholic men, we are called not just to oppose what is wrong, but to trust God with the outcome of our words. Speak plainly and courageously while refusing the deceptive comfort of guile, even on platforms designed to reward outrage.
