- Do not argue, but state the Catholic truth, so far as you know it; and, for the many things that you do not know, say that you have never studied theology, and offer to introduce them to a priest.
- If you must argue, follow this rule of strategy: Never stand on the defensive, but attack the other man's position. Ask him what he has to offer as a substitute for the Catholic faith -- little enough, you will find.
-- Joseph Rickaby, SJ, Ye Are Christ's
