What drew many to Christianity was the witness of the virgin martyrs! Women particularly found attractive the Christian teaching that husbands should be willing to lay down their lives for their spouses as Jesus laid down his life for his bride, the church.

Right...it was not accomodation!

It's terrible. Having him and Cupich and Gregory be Cardinals is a menace for the Church.
