Fight against these prejudices, which also deceive honest people.

Nor can we be surprised, my children, although we may be sorry, when we see that there are other people who unwittingly play up to those I have just described. They let themselves be led by catchphrases (which should be abolished, because they limit and condition the Church’s divine action and vitality) and by prejudices born of error and a lack of doctrine.

These other people I am now talking about, even though they are honourable, cannot see the rectitude and legitimacy of the panorama of noble aspirations opened up before their eyes by the Work. Even though they are good, they cannot hold firm against the never-ending stream of one-sided or false information poured out by apparently respectable people. Even though they are incapable of doing wrong, they don’t do what is right, for fear of the powerful. Even though they are intelligent and even learned, they can’t see the effectiveness of the service to God and his Church that is being done in their presence, not the theological doctrine underpinning it, nor the canonical rules that it needs.
