Atheism's Arrogance

Contemptorum dei: Dürer

Many assert that it is arrogant to say that God can give us the truth.

It is contempt for God, rather, to say that we have been born blind and that the truth is not our issue.

Ratzinger argues that, in the end, it is the relativist who is arrogant, because it is arrogant to deny that God can give us the truth.
