On Veritatis Splendor by Fr. Joseph Koterski: 16. Martyrdom and Witness

The final lecture of this series considers some of the pastoral recommendations made in this encyclical.  Taking the present situation as one of growing secularism (living as if God did not exist), the document considers some of the effects on Christians of having to live in a dechristianized culture.  The lecture concludes with a review of the pope’s remarks about martyrdom as giving witness to the inviolable holiness of God’s law.
