The first thing that must strike a non-Christian about a Christian's faith is that it is all too daring. Cor ad cor loquitur.
Heart speaks to heart .
My child, give me thy heart . The only really effective apologia for Christianity comes down to two arguments, namely, the saints the Church has produced, and the art which has grown in her womb. Better witness is borne to the Lord by the splendor of holiness and art which have arisen in the community of believers than by the clever excuses which apologetics has come up with to justify the dark sides which, sadly, are so frequent in the Church's human history. Christians must not be too easily satisfied. Without this the world will become the first circle of Hell.
