"When, therefore, we have such proofs, it is not necessary to seek among others the truth which is easily obtained from the Church. For the Apostles, like a rich man in a bank, deposited with her most copiously everything which pertains to the truth; and everyone whosoever wishes draws from the drink of life. For she is the entrance to life, while all the rest are thieves and robbers. That is why it is surely necessary to avoid them, while cherishing with the utmost diligence the things pertaining to the Church, and to lay hold to the tradition of truth."
--St. Irenaeus, Against Heresies (AD 180/199).
The Faith of the Early Fathers, Vol. 1 (1970).
The Way of Unity--October 27, 1980
"A true reunification of Christians is not possible unless it be in the perfection of truth. And truth has been kept intact only in the Catholic Church, which must preserve it, defend it and proclaim it to all without fear. It is the light of truth which will draw many of my children to return to the bosom of the one and only Church founded by Jesus."
--Our Lady Speaks to Her Priests (1987).
To my Protestant brothers and sisters in Christ--seek the Truth, and come home...
