If a church offers no truth that is not available in the general culture – in, for instance, the editorials of the New York Times or, for that matter, of National Review – there is not much reason to pay it attention. – Richard John Neuhaus
My eyes are wide open to the conflicts within the Church, but I don’t think you can call it schism. – Richard John Neuhaus
