“The world-man as a result has thrown dust in his own eyes and then had his eyes plucked out so that he can no longer find the gate which leads back home.  He was told religion was an opium and eternal purpose only theological folklore, and that if he dispossessed himself of its obligations and worries, he could make a paradise of this world. Foolishly man did this but instead of finding his material life enriched, he discovers that it becomes more precarious each day without the consolation of any hope beyond the grave.”    - Archbishop Fulton Sheen
