"If we are fighting to preserve the divine, then we are fighting a crucial war, for the word crucial is derived from crux or cross, and the cross has four dimensions: the "breath, and length, and height, and depth" (Esp. 3:18) of Christ's redeeming love on the cross. The battle cry of a horizontal war is generally "Freedom," the battle cry of a vertical war is generally "Justice," the battle cry of a crucial war is "God." Archbishop Fulton Sheen
