What Faith Requires
Pride is the greatest obstacle to believing in God, for it will not suffer the intellect to become the slave of Faith; 'bringing into captivity every understanding unto the obedience of Christ.' Faith requires that all pride of soul should be brought low and humbled before the majesty of a God who speaks and reveals His mysteries in order to receive from us that sacrifice of the understanding which is first in order; 'destroying...every height that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God.'
-Msgr. Scotti.
