“It is one thing to observe facts, another thing to interpret them. Facts as facts mean nothing experience as experience means nothing. A cat walking through a laboratory sees the test tubes and retorts just as well as the scientist – in fact sees them better in the dark. But the cat can make no conclusions concerning the facts, simply because it lacks the power of reason. It is reasoning on experience, then, that makes interpretation, and therefore I say that we are no better equipped today to interpret facts than the ancients were; we have only better facts to interpret.” Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Old Errors and New Labels)
