This is the way of Him who came with words of boundless freedom, and was a reminder that God and freedom and truth are above the well-being and tranquility of men. Freedom cannot be the result of compulsion, even of the compulsion of God. There is nothing higher than the search for, and the love of, Truth. Truth, the one integral truth, is God, and to perceive Truth, is to enter divine life. You offer proof only to the enemies of your beloved truth, not to its friends.
Every social mode is a conventional lie.
Falsehood is recognized as useful to support and organize human living together, and fulfils a social function. Truth may be dangerous to everyday life. Christian truth might even become very dangerous - might cause the collapse of nations and civilizations. Truth is not something given objectively, but rather a creative achievement. It is creative discovery, rather than the reflected knowledge of an object or of being.
