In the earliest days of The Church, many decided that they would not believe the words of He Who fulfilled all the prophecies. Even in the years immediately after The Resurrection, in living memory of the miracles, there were some who used this excuse to shun Catholicism:
“Look at the mistake your so-called Savior made. He lived and worked with Judas for years, and didn’t know that Judas was going to betray Him. I certainly can’t believe in a man who’d make a big mistake like that.”
Today, of course, the same sort of people are saying:
“Look at these scandals! I certainly can’t believe in a Church that would make a big mistake like that.”
This is how the garden automatically weeds itself of the proud, the pompous, and the self-righteous.
