“It is absurd to believe that He Who wrote only once in His Life, and that was in the sands, and Who never told anyone to write, should have intended that His Truth should be available only and exclusively in a few memoranda that were written down by a few followers over twenty years after His Death, and were never gathered together in their approved form until three centuries later?  Grant that they are inspired and revealed, and I believe it and confess it and read those writings daily; but I still say it is unthinkable that these books which were not written until His Mystical Body was already spread throughout the whole Roman Empire, should be His only way of communicating Truth.  If He did not take some effective guarantee to preserve His Truth, which was so sacred that He died for it, then Truth did not matter to Him.  If He could not prolong His Truth, up to this hour, then He is not God.  Either that infallible Truth of Jesus Christ is living now, available now, or He is not God.”     Archbishop Fulton Sheen (The Rock Plunged into Eternity)
