"There is something very rewarding in being a closet dogmatist while appearing to be the reverse. [This]...approach to conflict, throwing up our hands and then chiding those with deep convictions, leads to a dead end, and kills the adventure of orthodoxy. The church fathers were right to oppose that move and we are right to oppose the same tendency in our day."

"The claim of lack of clarity or ignorance allows one to pursue one's own position quite dogmatically, while appearing to be very un-dogmatic. The claim of ignorance looks as though it advances no position, but it tacitly asserts that one's opponent's position cannot be decisively certain. It is forever only a possibility, not a certainty on which one could base action or decision."
