Mary should be our model for a religion that fights for the truth even when it is unpopular, Archbishop Charles Chaput of Philadelphia said last week.
He illustrated the point by referring to a medieval image of the Blessed Virgin punching the Devil on the nose.
Speaking at the University of Notre Dame, Archbishop Chaput said: “If we want to reclaim who we are as a Church, if we want to renew the Catholic imagination, we need to begin, in ourselves and in our local parishes, by unplugging our hearts from the assumptions of a culture that still seems familiar but is no longer really ‘ours’.
