Oswald J. SmithIt is even possible to be a martyr for the Faith and yet not love Jesus Christ.
About This Quote
In the Catholic faith, a martyr is a person who is willing to die for the faith. In other words, a martyr is someone who will go to their death rather than deny their faith. Such a person is called a martyr. In the modern world, however, many people have been accused of being martyrs without being willing to die for their faith.
A martyr is a maligned word these days because people who do not love Jesus Christ are accused of being martyrs for being faithful to God. These accusations can be quite hurtful and difficult for people to deal with, especially when they have not harmed anyone and are not asking anyone to die for their faith.
