Fr. Paul Scalia | For the Catholic Herald

The patron saint of the Arlington Diocese is St. Thomas More - a 16th-century writer, philosopher, lawyer, chancellor of England and martyr. This saint of the public square serves as an apt model for our diocese, so close to the nation's capital, and apt as well for the Church's current conflict with the administration. The crisis of his times, and his handling of it, are instructive for us in this present crisis.
