"If you wanna be a non-conformist, all you have to do is dress just like us and listen to the same music we do." (quote from South Park)

"If you wanna be a non-conformist, all you have to do is dress just like us and listen to the same music we do." (quote from South Park)

Rebellion, teenage angst, and the struggle for non-conformity are certainly hallmarks of youth, but our Lord provides us with the ultimate way for man to rebel against the world; to show himself as one who does not conform to the prevailing currents, fads, and/or moral and ethical ambiguities. Christ does so by means of the Cross and encourages us with His own manifesto, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me." (Matt. 16:24)
