Fulton Sheen
"It is a characteristic of any decaying civilization that the great
masses of the people are unaware of the tragedy. Humanity in a crisis is
generally insensitive to the gravity of the times in which it lives.
Men do not want to believe their own times are wicked, partly because
they have no standard outside of themselves by which to measure their
times. If there is no fixed concept of justice, how shall men know it is
violated? Only those who live by faith really know what is happening in
the world; the great masses without faith are unconscious of the
destructive processes going on, because they have lost the vision of the
heights from which they have fallen."
