“Find out just what any people will quietly submit to, and you have the exact measure of the injustice and wrong which will be imposed on them.”
-Frederick Douglss (1818-1895), former slave, abolitionist and political activist.
Given the Obama administration's attack on the Catholic Church, this is a very good principle for people of faith, and Catholics in particular, to keep in mind.

Great quote from a great man buried here in Rochester.
A great man, a great American, and a great advocate for freedom and humanity. Not a man without faults -- none of us are -- but a man who by his voice and dignity demonstrated the fundamental lie at the heart of slavery.
