List of points
I have to agree with you that there are practising Catholics who even seem devout in the eyes of others and are perhaps sincerely convinced, yet are naively serving the enemies of the Church.
—Into their very homes, under various names, invariably wrongly used — ecumenism, pluralism, democracy — has insinuated itself the worst adversary — ignorance.
Although it seems a paradox, those who call themselves sons of the Church may often be precisely those who sow greater confusion.
True unity cannot be promoted by making new divisions… Even less can it come about when its promoters wish to gain control and take over from lawful authority.
It is a sad ecumenism indeed when Catholics who take part in it ill-treat other Catholics!
The conversion of a soul cannot be made easy at the risk of many others possibly falling away.
