“Mockers, can you not see that they are defensive? Have you ever noticed how many of them are writing and talking and giving reasons why they do not believe in Christ’s Mystical Body? Nobody asked them for their reasons; nobody invited them to build their little house on the Rock; but they feel bound to tell you why they are not doing it. Nobody goes around telling people why they are not believers in a new Sun Cult or why ‘paint the barn week’ is a snare invented by a paint manufacturer. This is because people are not conscious of Sun Cults and barns. But all of a sudden, these people have become conscious that they do not have the faith, so they immediately proceed to justify their position. They never tell us what they believe, but what they do not believe. They never give a lecture on why they go to Rock Island, but they give profuse lectures on why they never go to the Rock.” Archbishop Fulton Sheen (The Rock Plunged into Eternity)
