“The moral preparation for the Faith or for making
Divine Truth dynamic in us is as important as the intellectual; both kinds of
readying should go together, the Wisdom and the Love of God, the Son and the
Holy Spirit are equal in the Trinity. If the reason is neglected, a different
sort of error follows. Those whom the moral development outstrips the
intellectual generally end in a religion that is negative, critical, and
pharisaical, or else in. a vague, emotional piety without content—as those who
have intellectual without no growth become skeptics, cynics, and doubters. We
can never love until we know; but once we love, then it can increase
knowledge.”—Venerable Fulton J. Sheen (1895-1979), Lift Up Your Heart: A Guide to Spiritual Peace
