Robert Spencer has been a tireless voice for the weak and oppressed around the world, showing a Christ-like willingness to speak truth to power even while being slandered and condemned by the modern day heirs of Pontius Pilates.
By recognizing all that he has done to represent the loving spirit of God in the face of those who say that God demands stonings, amputations, honor killings, holy war, and murder, the Church will say unequivocally that God is love.
