If any discord arise, it is unavoidable. It is good to have peace, but not peace at any price; above all when the price is the violation of conscience.

In any case, are not religious obligations greater than civil obligations? And is not the loss of earthly friends better than the loss of the friendship of Christ—if the worst should happen?
