Be Mindful

The Christian who is misinformed; who is subject to the demagoguery of extremists in the press or radio, or on TV, and who is perhaps to some extent temperamentally inclined to associate himself with fanatical groups in politics, can do an enormous amount of harm to society, to the Church, and to himself. With sincere intentions of serving the cause of Christ, he may cooperate in follies and injustices of disastrous magnitude. — Thomas Merton
