"Our Catholic religion is about God who is love. Often, we can mistake weakness for love and strength as a lack of love. Compassion cannot be exercised at the cost of objective truth. We must strive to correct erroneous consciences, especially in those who call themselves "Catholic". Dissent against the Teaching Church is widespread. The Teaching Church, however, has the authority and the responsibility to articulate the faith of the whole Church."
