Saint of the Day

Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774-1824)
Anne was an Augustinian nun who experienced visions and made prophecies throughout her life. In 1813, she became bedridden with the stigmata. She recorded her visions in The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ, as well as several other works.

Reflections from the Saints

If the Church is true, all in her is true; he who admits not the one, believes not the other.

Life in Christ: Catechism #2125

Since it rejects or denies the existence of God, atheism is a sin against the virtue of religion. The imputability of this offense can be significantly diminished in virtue of the intentions and the circumstances. "Believers can have more than a little to do with the rise of atheism. To the extent that they are careless about their instruction in the faith, or present its teaching falsely, or even fail in their religious, moral, or social life, they must be said to conceal rather than to reveal the true nature of God and of religion."
