A tidbit from the Jesuit Priest Berrigan:

"One must urge (to his own soul first) a firm rebutting midrash; bring
Christ to bear. Read the gospel closely, obediently. Welcome no
enticements, not other claim on conscience. Mourn the preachers and
priests whose silence and collusion signal plain revolt against the
gospel. Enter the maelstrom, the wilderness; flee the claim that would
possess your soul. Earn the blessing; pay up. Blessed - and lonely and
powerless and intent on the Master - and, if must be, despised,
scorned, locked up - blessed are the makers of peace."
