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!
