"I have been listening to you on EWTN for about one year now.  I left the Catholic Church 42 years ago and have been attending Protestant churches.  After many struggles during this last year, I finally went to confession on Sunday. Thank you all so much for helping me on my journey home.”

"Do as you wish; for we are Christians, and we do not sacrifice to idols."

~ Six companions of Justin Martyr, martyrs all; speaking to the Prefect Rusticus after he threatened them with "torture without mercy" unless they sacrificed to the Roman "gods;" from the trial transcript by Tatian (A.D. 165).
