Yep, it seems like there has been a lot of Catholic bashing today bigtime.
They bashed our precious Lord first and He provided for us the supreme example to which we all should aspire. It should be no surprise to us that as the world hated Him, his true followers would also be hated. The relentless bashing, as heartbreaking and difficult as it is to endure nevertheless provides us endless opportunities to show others how Christ would have loved His punishers.
We must pick up our cross kiss and embrace it, smile and joyfully march on together until we see him face to face. He will not abandon us, especially when we need him most.
