Pope says being baptized means saying 'no' to a culture where truth does not matter

“Renouncing the glamour of Satan in today’s age means rejecting a culture where truth does not matter” and where “calumny and destruction” reign, he said. Christians reject “a culture that does not seek goodness, whose morality is really a mask to trick people and create destruction and confusion.”

“Against this culture in which falsehood presents itself as truth and information, against this culture that seeks only material well-being and denies God, we say, ‘no,'” the pope said.

    Good on the pope for standing up for apostolic truth, as millions of other Christians do every day. Some get more praise and attention, some get less, but all are looking for just one reward at the end: “Well done, good and faithful servant”.
