Fulton J. SheenThe world may disagree with the Church, but the world knows very definitely with what it is disagreeing. In the future as in the past, the Church will be intolerant about the sanctity of marriage, for what God has joined together no man shall put asunder; she will be intolerant about her creed, and be ready to die for it, for she fears not those who kill the body, but rather those who have the power to cast body and soul into hell.

Fulton J. SheenTolerance is an attitude of reasoned patience towards evil and a forbearance that restrains us from showing anger or inflicting punishment.
