When appointed (26th Nov '05) and later Ordained Bishop (22nd Jan 06), everyone welcomed. Now, just three years later:
"The outside walls of the Gozo Curia were last night vandalised with malicious writings against Gozo Bishop Mario Grech. Some of the graffiti described the bishop as being a liar and of being dishonest." (The Times, 4th June 09)
This Bishop speaks up when injustice or wrong is being done and that's what he gets for doing so.
"Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven. Thus
they persecuted the prophets
who were before you."
(Mt 5:11,12)
