How
I tremble to think that souls can be punished for all eternity on
account of the negligence of their pastor, that innocent people can be
led from the path of truth because the words of the Inspired Text were
never preached to them, and that the spirit of the world, and of our
time especially, should pour into ill-instructed minds for want of a
firm hand to check its tide. I have a sacred duty to defend the truth
openly, for God will ask me to render an account for all those souls who
have strayed into the ways of perdition.
Pope St. Pius X
