All that you say is true only to a point. It is also true that it would be a sin of omission not to answer lies with truth, and not to oppose corruption in any way we can. Many young people will lose the faith because of inertia on the part of pious people who prefer the comforts of doing nothing and remaining silent, foolishly hoping for the best, rather than opposing wrongful authority by speaking out. These superficially pious people are culpable, in my opinion, if they do not speak out at some point, since by not doing so they enable those in high office to continue doing harm to others, especially to the young who are being robbed of their Catholic patrimony. At the very least they should get out of the way of those who do insist on telling the truth--that the emperor has no clothes. Instead, they heap abuse on those who resist.

Remember, there is no real conflict between prayerfulness and forceful action. Jesus Himself told his disciples that the Children of the Light must learn from the Children of Darkness. His point was that we must learn not to be pushovers, naively letting others walk all over us. Remember the story of the wily steward? Jesus did not mean we were supposed to go around cheating people. He meant we had to learn not to be doormats for those who would take advantage of our decency; we had to be just as foxy as they when it was necessary--and even take some unpleasant action. We are expected, in other words, to oppose the world forcefully at times, the way Jesus did when He saw that His Father's Temple had been made into a den of thieves.
