Any man with eyes in his head, whatever the ideas in his head,

“Any man with eyes in his head, whatever the ideas in his head, who looks at the world as it is today, must know that the whole social substance of marriage has changed … Numbers of normal people are getting married, thinking already that they may be divorced … The Church was right to refuse even the exception. The world has admitted the exception; and the exception has become the rule … The Catholic Church, standing almost alone, declared that it would in fact lead to an anarchical position; and the Catholic Church was right.” — The Well and the Shallows, NY: Sheed & Ward, 1935, 42-43 - G. K. Chesterton
