I support the public interest in a matter of that kind being fully investigated. There is a clear public interest in that happening. But like all other citizens, corporate or otherwise, oil companies have certain rights and presumptions of innocence.

The believer's cross is no longer any and every kind of suffering, sickness, or tension, the bearing of which is demanded.

It is not, like sickness or catastrophe, an inexplicable, unpredictable suffering; it is the end of the path freely chosen after counting the cost. It is not, like Luther's or Thomas Muntzer's or Zinzendorf's or Kierkegaard's cross, an inward wrestling of the sensitive soul with self and sin; it is the social reality of representing in an unwilling world the Order to come.
