The world is opposed to the Church. The world holds that each man should be able to judge what is good and evil for himself, and that government should preserve man's (false) freedom to choose to do evil things (to believe lies, to worship falsely, to poison himself). The worldling does not like conflict, fears appearing judgmental, and only holds his beliefs as a 'personal preference.' He claim to be Christ's disciple but loves the world (and the world loves him). The reality that Catholicism is the only true religion (no other religion is good, true, or saving) is abhorrent to the world. Like the 'tolerant' pagan Roman of old, the lukewarm worldling does not know or love God; hence they both persecute faithful Catholics. Contrast this with the great martyr saints of old who suffered and gave their life for the Faith, such as St Sabinus, St Eulalia, and St. Romanus. What are we to do? Make a determined choice - be Catholic or not! Adhere to all Catholic doctrine and fully embrace Catholic Tradition!
