...it appears you are quite tolerant...

Bishop Fulton J. Sheen quotes:

 

 

"A Plea For Intolerance" (1931)

 

Tolerance is an attitude of reasoned patience toward evil ... a forbearance that restrains us from showing anger or inflicting punishment.

 Tolerance applies only to persons ... never to truth.

 

America, it is said, is suffering from intolerance — it is not.

It is suffering from tolerance.

Tolerance of right and wrong, truth and error, virtue and evil, Christ and chaos.

Our country is not nearly so overrun with the bigoted as it is overrun with the broadminded.

And to think that quote was made in 1931, wonder what Fulton would think today?

[Colofornian]

Tolerance is an attitude of reasoned patience toward evil ... a forbearance that restrains us from showing anger or inflicting punishment. Tolerance applies only to persons ... never to truth. America, it is said, is suffering from intolerance — it is not. It is suffering from tolerance. Tolerance of right and wrong, truth and error, virtue and evil, Christ and chaos.Our country is not nearly so overrun with the bigoted as it is overrun with the broadminded.

Excellent summation! (A real "keeper")
