"Truth is not something to be wary of. All truth, any truth, if it is, in fact, truth, will be in conformity with your cherished views…provided they are true.

Aquinas writes: 'Every truth by whomsoever spoken is from the Holy Ghost as bestowing the natural light, and moving us to understand and speak the truth (Summa Theologica, Part I-II, Question 109, Article 1, Reply to Objection 1).'" —Prof. Timothy Pawl
