I would look for the one Church which did not get along well with the world; in other words, I would look for the Church which the world hated....Look for the Church that is accused of being behind the times, as our Lord was accused of being ignorant and never having learned...Look for the Church which the world rejects because it claims it is infallible, as Pilate rejected Christ because He called Himself the Truth...Look for the Church which is rejected by the world as Our Lord was rejected by men. Look for the Church which amid the confusions of conflicting opinions, its members love as they love Christ, and respect its Voice as the very voice of its Founder, and the suspicion will grow, that if the Church is unpopular with the spirit of the world, then it is unworldly, and if it is unworldly it is other worldly. since it is other-worldly, it is infinitely loved and infinitely hated as was Christ Himself....Fulton Sheen
