"Let Catholics listen to the word of God, which the Church, and the Church alone, preserves and teaches entire and incorrupt. Let them not run, like sheep that have no shepherd, where other voices resound and try to drown out the voice of God when they are raised in opposition to the voice of the Church.
We have Sacred Scriptures. We have Tradition. We have the Supreme Pastor, and certainly a greater number of priests near us.
Why then, in the face of those who fight against us and hate us, must we give an exhibition of stupidity or fanaticism? "Christians, be harder to move," wrote Dante in his own time, "don't be like feathers that move with every breeze." He gave the very reasons that are valid today. " You have the Old Testament and the New, and the Pastor of the Church to guide you." And he concluded as we conclude, "This is enough for your salvation."
