What Makes a Good Catholic?

A good Catholic traditionally is someone who kept their mouth shut, their pocketbook open. Paid, prayed and obeyed, was docile, went to Mass, obeyed all the Commandments, went to confession on a regular basis. For the most part was ritualized, obedient and quiet.

But a good Catholic is not that at all. A good Catholic is a Catholic in the model of Jesus Christ: a revolutionary. Someone who's not afraid to get up and speak the truth. Remember, the only time Christ got angry was when he went to church.
