“If heretics no longer horrify us today, as they once did
our forefathers, is it certain that it is because there is
more charity in our hearts? Or would it not too often be,
perhaps, without our daring to say so, because the bone of
contention, that is to say, the very substance of our faith,
no longer interests us? Men of too familiar and too passive
a faith, perhaps for us dogmas are no longer the Mystery on
which we live, the Mystery which is to be accomplished in
us. Consequently then, heresy no longer shocks us; at least,
it no longer convulses us like something trying to tear the
soul of our souls away from us… And that is why we have no
trouble in being kind to heretics, and no repugnance in
rubbing shoulders with them.”
