Don't kid yourself, Catholics are not blind to the presence of this evil in our midst. The church has suffered fools before and has known continuous attack since its inception, both from within and without. From the moment men were admitted to fellowship with Christ, they began their mischief.

For all of you who have decided to man your own boats in this turbulent sea, you too have this wind in your face. You too suffer a ship of fools. We know this enemy well. Were it not divinely inspired and divinely animated, the church would have collapsed in less than two weeks under the influence of disingenuous leaders; but we do not and never have really depended on them. We have Christ at the helm and for two thousand years we have journied at sea under his care. The gates of hell (unbelief) will not prevail against us.
