Ronald Knox
“It was the old tragedy of the Englishman and his foreign guests; a spectacle continually re-enacted, from which neither side ever learns. The Englishman with all the warmth of his heart applauds the foreign revolutionary whose enemies are his own enemies; amid much public enthusiasm an expedition is sent out in support of the plucky under-dog. But this warmth of heart is not matched by clearness of head; the Englishman in his generous mood of applause forgets to ask whether the foreign revolutionaries he is supporting are really nice people; and when the expedition has bungled and the disappointed survivors of the movement tum to the generous country which has befriended them, as to their natural asylum, there is inevitable disappointment on both sides.”
Ronald Knox, Enthusiasm: A Chapter in the History of Religion

“As the University of Chicago religion scholar Mircea Eliade observed five decades ago, in the famous encyclopedia entry on Catholic Christianity, what is most directly opposed to Catholicism is not Protestantism (which, in any case, has many Catholic elements within it) but sectarianism...For the sectarian, dialogue and collaboration are invitations to compromise, and compromise is anathema.”
Mark S. Massa S.J.
