»ἕως θανάτου ἀγώνισαι περὶ τñς ἀληθείας, καὶ Κύριος ὁ θεὸς πολεμήσει ὑπὲρ σοu.« • »Pro iustitia agonizare pro anima tua, et usque ad mortem certa pro iustitia: et Deus expugnabit pro te inimicos tuos.« (Sir. 4:28/33)
"Whenever anything disagreeable or displeasing happens to you, remember Christ crucified and be silent."
-- St. John of the Cross

When you take into consideration the dreadful earthly fates (i.e., their suffering and death) of those saints and martyrs that comprise the General Council of Christendom (and, indeed, even the painful torture, crucifixion and death of our Saviour Himself upon whom our Church was founded), any such thing seems trivial, if not, negligible.
