“The right to search for truth implies also a duty; one must not conceal any part of what one has recognized to be true.”
—Albert Einstein
I don’t disagree with you; I’m simply pointing out that anywhere people are involved, the same issues arise. A lack of complete and total truth doesn’t mean that the person/institution is completely wrong. It means they are human. The points made by Merton and Einstein are appropriate but both point to an idealistic view of reality, a view too often used to condemn ANY group who demonstrates ANY lack of forthrightness or perfection or worse still, to say I’m better than that group/person.
No man swindles himself more deeply than he who says, “I am holier than thou.”
