This does not happen if the truth is poisoned with subjectivism, then compartmentalised into one narrow aspect of man's life. This robust and all encompassing notion of truth, fundamentally and integrally Catholic, can come only from the Catholic Mass because the Catholic Mass explicates the Faith in its full, uncompromising integrity, and has a built-in sense of objectivity and absoluteness which is essential for convincing men that there are absolute and objective rules of public and private life.
