The Frank Friar - Episode 178: A Life of Truth and The Dangers of Pleasing People

Recently, I read a book by Cardinal Jospeh Zen about the current situation of the Catholic Church in China. The book is called For Love of my People I will Not Remain Silent. The book is quite hard hitting and shows the behind the scene work f the Vatican and its diplomatic work with the People’s Republic of China. I grab onto a line he spoke about in relationship to the Church and truth. That lines deals with the temptation to please people. If you want to look into the book here is a link to it: https://www.ignatius.com/For-Love-of-My-People-I-Will-Not-Remain-Silent-P3179.aspx
