An Object Other Than Itself

“There is a pitfall that some have fallen into, the mistake of trying to have faith in their own faith. Sure, and so let’s not do that. Blind men healed should look to Jesus, and then at the world. They should spend very little time trying to look at their own eyeballs. You look with your eyeballs, not at them. But let us not, for fear of this mistake, make another opposing mistake, equally ludicrous — the mistake of pretending that blind men get to testify to His healing grace and power” (Against the Church, p. 135).
