“Character building should not be based solely on the eradication of evil, for it should stress even more the cultivation of virtue. Mere asceticism without love of God is pride; it is possible to concentrate so hard on humiliating ourselves that we become proud of our humility, and to concentrate so intently on eradicating evil as to make our purity nothing but a condemnation of others.” Archbishop Fulton Sheen (On Being Human)
