A Parable

Throw a frog into a pot of boiling water

He will jump right out.

Throw a frog into a pot of lukewarm water,

Slowly raise the heat

He will stay in and cook to death.

Throw a Catholic into a pagan environment

He will see the lies and ambiguities clearly.

Throw a Catholic into a polite society,

Slowly change the standards and values

He will stay silent and slowly die spiritually.
