When Turibius undertook the reform of the clergy as well as unjust
officials, he naturally suffered opposition. Some tried, in human fashion, to
explain God's law in such a way as to sanction their accustomed way of life. He
answered them in the words of Tertullian, "Christ
said, 'I am the truth'; he did not say, 'I am the
custom.'"
St
Turibius, pray for us!
