About half an hour ago I ended a friendship with someone I had never met, but who is no longer a member of the Catholic Church. Some may disapprove of my conduct on this occasion; but I did what I considered necessary: I ended the friendship. I told him that this was our last conversation, and he should not hear from me again. He was astounded; I told him why; and our friendship was at an end. I have broken off contact with him.
My reason for inflicting this pain on him, and on myself, is that I love him, and want him to go to heaven, and I hope to knock some sense into him.
There is a phrase, "to be cruel to be kind." I used to think it self-excusing cant. I know better now.
