A sign of contradiction, in Catholic theology, is someone who, upon manifesting holiness, is subject to extreme opposition. The term is from the biblical phrase "sign that is spoken against", found in Luke 2:34[1] and in Acts 28:22,[2] which refer to Jesus Christ and the early Christians. Contradiction comes from the Latin contra, "against", and dicere, "to speak".
According to Catholic tradition, a sign of contradiction points to the presence of Christ or the presence of the divine due to the union of that person or reality with God. In his book, Sign of Contradiction, Pope John Paul II says that "sign of contradiction" might be "a distinctive definition of Christ and of his Church."[3]
