Inspired by the witness of Blessed Franz Jägerstätter, who refused to fight for the Nazis despite pressure to "go along to get along," we are reminded that following Christ often looks like "insanity" to a world focused on common sense and self-preservation. Today, we face a similar choice to either stay silent as society denies fundamental truths about life and marriage or to risk being "canceled" for speaking what used to be common sense. We cannot be cowed into accepting untruths just to protect our privileged lifestyles; rather, we must have the courage to stand for the truth and set the world ablaze.
