*p. 17, "few people outside the Church realize how much it is possible in principle to modify essentially all of the historic doctrines of the Catholic faith, nor how essential it is to the power and vitality of the Gospel that each age re-express the historic understandings of the Faith in the light of its own experience. The trouble with doctrine in contemporary physics is that everyone on the outside supposes it to be easily changed, but very few on the inside have the genius and courage  to attempt it. The trouble in Christian theology is just the reverse. There everyone on the outside supposes the doctrines to be rigorously and permanently fixed, while those on the inside are often too easily tempted to advance naive proposals for radical changes without a proper appreciation of the extent to which the suggested change has been thoroughly explored and rejected long ago.";
