Our Catholic Church teaches that there is natural faith and supernatural, infused faith which comes at Baptism. It may seem to be quietly lying dormant, forgotten, or perhaps inconsequential in the going about of daily living. Yet, I have come to realize that almost every country has stories about faith and times of persecution.

In a day where anti-religious feeling is prevalent in society, we can begin to see how this danger can take on more brutal forms. In a culture like ours today that promotes “tolerance” of every person and ideals, isn’t it odd that we are to tolerate every ideal and thought except religion and faith in God?
