It is not possible to escape from the results of the irruption of faith into the structures of our knowledge. - Jacques Maritain

Not only does the democratic state of mind stem from the inspiration of the Gospel, but it cannot exist without it.

The day when efficacy would prevail over truth will never come for the Church, for then the gates of hell would have prevailed against her.

It is enough that things exist for God to be unavoidable. Let us but grant to a bit of moss or the smallest ant its due nature as an ontological reality, and we can no longer escape the terrifying hand that made us.
