Pope Francis used the following sentence during his first canonization ceremony:
Pope Francis canonizes the Martyrs of Otranto, slain by Islamic invaders
As we venerate the Martyrs of Otranto, let us ask God to sustain many Christians who, in our own time and in many parts of the world, now still suffer from violence, and to give them the courage of fidelity and to answer evil with good.
[...]
This is certainly a strong or "hard Catholic identity" message, rather than "soft identity".
Thus meaning Catholics who took their faith seriously enough to suffer and die for it, which is the only way we can live our faith and obtain heaven. To have a "soft Identity" or be a soft Catholic is what Our Blessed Lord said:
(Revelation 3:16)
So, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth
