Quote From G.K.C.

" We do not really want a religion that is right when we are right. What we want is a religion that is right when we are wrong. ... A religion that binds men to their morality when it is not identical with their mood. ... A religion whose saints preached social reconciliation to fierce and raging factions who could barely stand the sight of each other's faces. ... A religion which preached charity to pagans who really did not believe in it. .. just as it now preaches chastity to new pagans who do not believe in it it is in those cases that we get the real grapple of religion; and it is in those cases that we get the peculiar and solitary triumph of the Catholic faith. It is not in merely being right when we are right, or in being cheerful and hopeful and humane. It is in having been right when we were wrong, and in the fact coming back upon us afterwards like a boomerang."
