"SPEAK THE TRUTH"
A failure to speak the truth

because of a misconceived sense of compassion

should not be taken for love.
We do not have a right to minimize matters of our own accord,

even with the best of intentions.
Our task is to be God's witnesses,

to be spokesmen of a mercy that saves

even when it shows itself as judgment on man's sin.

"Not everyone who says to me, `Lord, Lord', shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven" (Mt 7:21).
Pope John Paul II Holy Thursday Letter 2002
