“Outer truths are truths we master, such as the distance of the earth from the sun.  Inner truths are those that master us, disturb us and never leave us as we are.  Discussion is a most excellent means to avoid decision.  The disciples on the way to Emmaus were talking, debating, discussing about happenings, but they missed Christ (Luke 24: 13-25).  Discussions never obliged religious or priests to open their wounds to Christ, but only to reveal their points of view to one another.  Whenever our Lord spoke about His Cross, the apostles discussed and dialogued.  Interest revolved around renewal-centered novelties in liturgy, the size of the host, communion in the hand, and the dress of nuns, but not in Christification of the Spirit.  Dare we expose our wounds to Him even though He is the Physician?  We shrink from His demands of sacrifice we want healing without pain, knowledge without study, love without sacrifice.”  Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Those Mysterious Priests)
