America, it is said, is suffering from intolerance. It is not. It is suffering from tolerance: tolerance of right and wrong, truth and error, virtue and evil, Christ and chaos. Our country is not nearly so much overrun with the bigoted as it is overrun with the broadminded.<\/p>\n

The man who can make up his mind in an orderly way, as a man might make up his bed, is called a bigot; but a man who cannot make up his mind, any more than he can make up for lost time, is called tolerant and broadminded. A bigoted man is one who refuses to accept a reason for anything; a broadminded man is one who will accept anything for a reason\u2014providing it is not a good reason. It is true that there is a demand for precision, exactness, and definiteness, but it is only for precision in scientific measurement, not in logic. The breakdown that has produced this unnatural broadmindedness is mental, not moral. The evidence for this statement is threefold: the tendency to settle issues not by arguments but by words, the unqualified willingness to accept the authority of anyone on the subject of religion, and, lastly, the love of novelty\u2026.<\/p>\n

Religion is not an open question, like the League of Nations, while science is a closed question, like the addition table. Religion has its principles, natural and revealed, which are more exacting in their logic than mathematics. But the false notion of tolerance has obscured this fact from the eyes of many who are as intolerant about the smallest details of life as they are tolerant about their relations to God. In the ordinary affairs of life, these same people would never summon a Christian Science practitioner to fix a broken windowpane; they would never call in an optician because they had broken the eye of a needle; they would never call in a florist because they hurt the palm of their hand, nor go to a carpenter to take care of their nails. They would never call in a Collector of Internal Revenue to extract the nickel swallowed by the baby. They would refuse to listen to a Kiwanis booster discussing the authenticity of a painting, or to a tree\u2010surgeon settling a moot question of law. And yet for the all\u2010important subject of religion, on which our eternal destinies hinge, on the all\u2010important question of the relations of man to his environment and to his God, they are willing to listen to anyone who calls himself a prophet. And so our journals are filled with articles for these \u201cbroadminded\u201d people, in which everyone from Jack Dempsey to the chief cook of\u00a0the Ritz Carlton tells about his idea of God and his view of religion. These same individuals, who would become exasperated if their child played with a wrongly colored lollipop, would not become the least bit worried if the child grew up without ever having heard the name of God\u2026.<\/p>\n

The nature of certain things is fixed, and none more so than the nature of truth. Truth maybe contradicted a thousand times, but that only proves that it is strong enough to survive a thousand assaults. But for any one to say, \u02baSome say this, some say that, therefore there is no truth,\u02ba is about as logical as it would have been for Columbus, who heard some say, \u02baThe earth is round,\u02ba and other say, \u02baThe earth is flat,\u02ba to conclude: \u02baTherefore there is no earth at all\u02ba\u2026.<\/p>\n

The giggling giddiness of novelty, the sentimental restlessness of a mind unhinged, and the unnatural fear of a good dose of hard thinking, all conjoin to produce a group of sophomoric latitudinarians who think there is no difference between God as Cause and God as a \u02bamental projection\u02ba; who equate Christ and Buddha, St. Paul and John Dewey,\u00a0and then enlarge their broad\u2010mindedness into a sweeping synthesis that says not only that one Christian sect is just as good as another, but even that one world\u2010religion is just as good as another. The great god \u02baProgress\u02ba is then enthroned on the altars of fashion, and as the hectic worshipers are asked, \u02baProgress towards what?\u02ba The tolerant answer comes back, \u02baMore progress.\u02ba All the while sane men are wondering how there can be progress without direction and how there can be direction without a fixed point. And because they speak of a \u02bafixed point,\u02ba they are said to be behind the times, when really they are beyond the times mentally and spiritually.<\/p>\n

In the face of this false broad\u2010mindedness, what the world needs is intolerance. The mass of people have kept up hard and fast distinctions between dollars and cents, battleships and cruisers, \u02baYou owe me\u02ba and \u02baI owe you,\u02ba but they seem to have lost entirely the faculty of distinguishing between the good and the bad, the right and the wrong. The best indication of this is the frequent misuse of the terms \u02batolerance\u02ba and \u02baintolerance.\u02ba There are some minds that believe that intolerance is always wrong, because they make \u02baintolerance\u02ba mean hate, narrow-mindedness, and bigotry. These same minds believe that tolerance is always right because, for them, it means charity, broad\u2010mindedness, American good nature.<\/p>\n

What is tolerance? Tolerance is an attitude of reasoned patience towards evil, and a forbearance that restrains us from showing anger or inflicting punishment. But what is more important than the definition is the field of its application. The important point here is this: Tolerance applies only to persons, but never to truth. Intolerance applies only to truth, but never to persons. Tolerance applies to the erring; intolerance to the error\u2026.<\/p>\n

Tolerance\u00a0does not apply to truth or principles<\/em>. About these things we must be intolerant, and for this kind of intolerance, so much needed to rouse us from sentimental gush, I make a plea. Intolerance of this kind is the foundation of all stability. The government must be intolerant about malicious propaganda, and during the World War it made an index of forbidden books to defend national stability, as the Church, who is in constant warfare with error, made her index of forbidden books to defend the permanency of Christ\u02b9s life in the souls of men. The government during the war was intolerant about the national heretics who refused to accept her principles concerning the necessity of democratic institutions, and took physical means to enforce such principles. The soldiers who went to war were intolerant about the principles they were fighting for, in the same way that a gardener must be intolerant about the weeds that grow in his garden. The Supreme Court of the United States is intolerant about any private interpretation of the first principle of the Constitution that every man is entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and the particular citizen who would interpret \u02baliberty\u02ba in even such a small way as meaning the privilege to \u02bago\u02ba on a red traffic\u2010light, would find himself very soon in a cell where\u00a0there were no lights, not even the yellow \u2014 the color of the timid souls who know not whether to stop or go. Architects are as intolerant about sand as foundations for skyscrapers as doctors are intolerant about germs in their laboratories, and as all of us are intolerant of a particularly broad\u2010minded, \u02batolerant,\u02ba and good\u2010natured grocer who, in making our bills, adds seven and ten to make twenty.<\/p>\n

Now, if it is right \u2014 and it is right \u2014 for governments to be intolerant about the principles of government, and the bridge builder to be intolerant about the laws of stress and strain, and the physicist to be intolerant about the principles of gravitation, why should it not be the right of Christ, the right of His Church, and the right of thinking men to be intolerant about the truths of Christ, the doctrines of the Church, and the principles of reason? Can the truths of God be less exacting than the truths of mathematics? Can the laws of the mind be less binding than the laws of science, which are known only through the laws of the mind? Shall man, gifted with natural truth, who refuses to look with an equally tolerant eye on the mathematician who says two and two make five and the one who says two and two make four, be called a wise man, and shall God, Who refuses to look with an equally tolerant eye on all religions, be denied the name of \u02baWisdom,\u02ba and be called an \u02baintolerant\u02ba God?\u2026<\/p>\n

Why, then, sneer at dogmas as intolerant? On all sides we hear it said today, \u02baThe modern world wants a religion without dogmas,\u02ba which betrays how little thinking goes with that label, for he who says he wants a religion without dogmas is stating a dogma, and a dogma that is harder to justify than many dogmas of faith. A dogma is a true thought, and a religion without dogmas is a religion without thought, or a back without a backbone. All sciences have dogmas. \u02baWashington is the capital of the United States\u02ba is a dogma of geography. \u02baWater is composed of two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen\u02ba is a dogma of chemistry. Should we be broad\u2010minded and say that Washington is a sea in Switzerland? Should we be broad\u2010minded and say that H2O is a symbol for sulfuric acid?\u00a0\u2026<\/p>\n

But it is anything but progress to act like mice and eat the foundations of the very roof over our heads. Intolerance about principles is the foundation of growth, and the mathematician who would deride a square for always having four sides, and in the name of progress would encourage it to throw away even only one of its sides, would soon discover that he had lost all his squares. So too with the dogmas of the Church, of science, and of reason; they are like bricks, solid things with which a man can build, not like straw, which is \u02bareligious experience,\u02ba fit only for burning.<\/p>\n

A dogma, then, is the necessary consequence of the intolerance of first principles, and that science or that church which has the greatest amount of dogmas is the science or the church that has been doing the most thinking. The Catholic Church, the schoolmaster for twenty centuries, has been doing a tremendous amount of solid, hard thinking and hence has built up dogmas as a man might build a house of brick but grounded on a rock. She has seen the centuries with their passing enthusiasms and momentary loyalties pass before her, making the same mistakes, cultivating the same poses, falling into the same mental snares, so that she has become very patient and kind to the erring pupils, but very intolerant and severe concerning the false. She has been and she will always be intolerant so far as the rights of God are concerned, for heresy, error, untruth, affect not personal matters on which she may yield, but a Divine Right in which there is no yielding. Meek she is to the erring, but violent to the error. The truth is divine; the heretic is human. Due reparation made, she will admit the heretic back into the treasury of her souls, but never the heresy into the treasury of her wisdom. Right is right if nobody is right, and wrong is wrong if everybody is wrong. And in this day and age we need, as Mr. [G. K.] Chesterton tells us, \u02banot a Church that is right when the world is right, but a Church that is right when the world is wrong.\u02ba<\/p>\n

The attitude of the Church in relation to the modern world on this important question may be brought home by the story of the two women in the courtroom of Solomon [see 3 Kings 3:16-28]. Both of them claimed a child. The lawful mother insisted on having the whole child or nothing, for a child is like truth \u2014 it cannot be divided without ruin. The unlawful mother, on the contrary, agreed to compromise. She was willing to divide the babe, and the babe would have died of broad\u2010mindedness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
