Guidelines for Catholic Speaking and Writing

I am convinced that Catholic speakers and writers should not seek to garner attention, nor should they seek to gain excessive financial reward. Whenever possible, Catholic speaking and writing should be given freely, in the same manner that the Truth came to us freely as converts and cradle Catholics. For those who bear the weight of providing for a family, adequate compensation is not only necessary; it is just. The worker is worthy of his wages/hire. That is scriptural. And certainly, travel expenses should be covered. But, as it says in today's New Testament Reading:

From 1 Thessalonians 2
We have not taken to preaching because we are deluded, or immoral, or trying to deceive anyone; it was God who decided that we were fit to be entrusted with the Good News, and when we are speaking, we are not trying to please men but God, who can read our inmost thoughts. You know very well, and we can swear it before God, that never at any time have our speeches been simply flattery, or a cover for trying to get money; nor have we ever looked for any special honour from men, either from you or anybody else, when we could have imposed ourselves on you with full weight, as apostles of Christ.
Instead, we were unassuming.
