Trust the Church of God implicitly even when your natural judgement would take a different course from hers and would induce you to question her prudence or correctness. Recollect what a hard task she has; how she is sure to be criticized and spoken against, whatever she does; recollect, too, how long is the experience gained in 1800 years; and what a right she has to claim your assent to principles which have had so extended and triumphal a trial. Thank her that she has kept the faith safe for so many generations and do your part in helping her to transmit it to generations after you.
— John Henry Cardinal Newman
