| Quotation | Scribners sent Daniel Callahan's book Honesty in the Church in proof. I will not make a statement on it, as it would tend to mislead people if I did. (That is to say a lot of readers who lack the maturity and sophistication to understand such a book might get in trouble reading it.) However, it is a very outspoken, even indignant, criticism of all the doubletalk, maneuverings and pretenses that are too characteristic of the Church's official acts sometimes. |
