"So, by evasion and pretence, people are enabled to forget their real condition; and in view of its inherent despair, we can understand their anxiety to do so. A Faith for which so many were once prepared to live and die (and even to kill) thus comes to seem like an irrelevance, a thing of no particular interest one way or another. It is about our real condition: it never set out to be about our pretend-condition."
Christopher Derrick, That strange divine sea: reflections on being a Catholic (San Francisco, CA: Ignatius Press, 1983), 52.
