The truth always carries the ambiguity of the words used to

Summary

This quote suggests that truth is inherently limited by the language we use to communicate it. Our words are subjective and open to interpretation, hence introducing ambiguity and potential misunderstandings in conveying the truth. It highlights the complexity of expressing truths accurately and the challenge in achieving complete clarity. Despite our best efforts, the inherent nature of language results in a certain level of ambiguity that we must recognize when attempting to communicate the truth.

Failed experiments in ecumenism and social politics suggest

Failed experiments in ecumenism and social politics suggest that unity is not to be found in mass movements of like-minded people sharing common perspectives and policies. ... Experience suggests that unity embraces the multitude of our differences, that community is often far from cozy, and that conversion does not mean changing others to our point of view but perhaps just the opposite -- weaning each and every person and institution from the arrogant exclusivism that prevents genuine conversation. ... God comes to us, to rescue us not only from our enemies but also from our friends, not only from strangers but also from familiars, that we might see beyond these discriminating distinctions to a new way of relating.
