Dom Gueranger 19th century observation that is apt today

To return to our Apostle. St. Thomas had heard St. Mary Magdalene, and he despised her testimony; he had heard St. Peter, and he objected to his authority; he had heard the rest of his fellow-Apostles and the two disciples of Emmaus, and no, he would not give up his own opinion. How many there are among us who are like him in this! They never think of doubting what is told them by a truthful and disinterested witness, unless the subject touch upon the supernatural; and then they have a hundred difficulties. It is one of the sad consequences left in us by original sin. Like St. Thomas, they want to see the thing themselves: and that alone is enough to keep them from the fullness of the truth. St. Thomas saw the happiness of his brother-Apostles, but he considered it to be a weakness of mind, and was glad that he was free from it!

How like this is to a modern rationalistic "Catholic!" He believes, but it is because his reason almost forces him to believe; he believes with his mind, rather than from his heart. His faith is a scientific deduction and not a generous longing after God and supernatural truth. Hence how cold and powerless is this faith! How cramped and ashamed! How afraid of believing too much! Unlike the generous unstinted faith of the saints, it is satisfied with fragments of truth, with what the Scripture terms diminished truths (Ps. 11: 2). It seems ashamed of itself. It speaks in a whisper, lest it should be criticized; and when it does venture to make itself heard, it adopts a phraseology which may take off the sound of the divine. As to those miracles which it wishes had never taken place, and which it would have advised God not to work, they are a forbidden subject. The very mention of a miracle, particularly if it have happened in more recent times, puts it into a state of nervousness. The lives of the saints, their heroic virtues, their sublime sacrifices—it has a repugnance to the whole thing! It talks gravely about those who are not of the true religion having been unjustly dealt with by the Church in Catholic countries; it asserts that the same liberty ought to be granted to error as to truth; it has very serious doubts whether the world has been a great loser by the secularization of society.
