That Positive Spirit:

“He was not yet in the Church, but already a sin without a name had occurred to him. Ordinarily, the thought might give him pleasure. He remembered Nunes saying that a man must come into the Church on his own intellectual level. And in a horror, remote but clear, saw that the more intelligent a man was, the more various the sins he was capable of committing.”

“He saw himself as a hated prier into the homes of strangers, a kind of intellectual charlatan rationalizing his own prurience into scientific curiosity; someone at once lower and more pretentious than a professional social worker.”

“He let his mind go, following its apparently new logic: it came to a matter of self-control, something laughed at by himself and virtually all the people he knew in the universities. He personally associated it with being a Boy Scout. In something not unlike terror, he saw how the great truths had been made banal for the popular taste; how the oversimplifying of them was a danger to himself and others dedicated to the complex and subtle. The terror became real in him as he saw for a second time, with a clarity equivalent to physical sight, how much more difficult it was for an intelligent person to be saved.”
