Many thanks for the quote from Fr. Benedict Groeschel.

Fr G is right. David Hume's attempt to demolish Christianity is much more enjoyable than Richard Dawkins', even if his arguments are, in the end, equally fallacious.
I also liked the "God is not a psychiatrist and calls both the healthy and the ill" line. It is a message that those reponsible for the selection and formation of seminarians could usefully take on board. Sanctity and Mental Health are not the same
