Madrid, Spain, Aug 19, 2011 / 14:53 pm
The Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus told young pilgrims in Madrid that the right to practice their faith could be kept or lost in the future, depending on their public witness and awareness.
“What are you going to do about it? Because I think you’ll have longer time to do something about it than I will,” he said, addressing over 1,000 pilgrims at World Youth Day 2011.
The Catholic fraternal and charitable organization's leader said the tone of Christians' public witness would be central to preserving religious liberty.
What “(w)e have to do is show people by the way we live our life that Christianity doesn’t frustrate human happiness – that Christianity actually promotes human happiness,” he observed.
