”Chatholics have often critized me for not having an ecclesiological theory, and in a way they have point, because I am neither a theologian nor a student of Church doctrine. And yet one must defend the Church when it is made into a sacapegoat, which I find all the more scandalous since the scapegoating has been done by Catholics themselves. If they understood what is at stake today, they wouldn’t do such a thing to their own Church.”

– René Girard (ur hans senaste bok, vilken jag just nu läser: The One by Whom Scandal Comes.
