by-grace-of-god:

There’s NO evidence that St Francis said “preach always, use words if necessary”

The danger is that statement can be used as justification for a kind of anti-intellectualism…No, the Church engages from the beginning in bold, fiery, coherent, confident and intelligent speech.

This is not the time for anti-intellectualism in our Church… At the heart of our bold speech is the proclamation that Jesus Christ is Lord.”

Bishop Barron, SLS 2018
