More From Fulton J. Sheen

Christ be with me, christ within me, christ behind me, christ before me, christ beside me, christ to win me, christ to comfort me and restore me, christ beneath me, christ above me, christ in quiet, christ in danger, christ in hearts of all that love me, christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
Faith Christian Jesus
Error is a supposition that pleasure and pain, that intelligence, substance, life, are existent in matter. error is neither mind nor one of mind's faculties. error is the contradiction of truth. error is a belief without understanding. error is unreal because untrue. it is that which stemma to be and is not. if error were true, its truth would be error, and we should have a self-evident absurdity -namely, erroneous truth. thus we should continue to lose the standard of truth.

Tolerance is an attitude of reasoned patience towards evil and a forbearance that restrains us from showing anger or inflicting punishment. but what is more important than the definition is the field of its application. the important point here is this: tolerance applies only to persons but never to truth. intolerance applies only to truth but never to persons. tolerance applies to the erring; intolerance to the error.

Intolerance lies at the core of evil. not the intolerance that results from any threat or danger. but intolerance of another being who dares to exist. intolerance without cause. it is so deep within us, because every human being secretly desires the entire universe to himself. our only way out is to learn compassion without cause. to care for each other simple because that 'other' exists.

Too many people get credit for being good, when they are only being passive. they are too often praised for being broadminded when they are so broadminded they can never make up their minds about anything.
