"We must remember
that if all the manifestly good men were on one side and all the
manifestly bad men on the other, there would be no danger of
anyone, least of all the elect, being deceived by lying wonders. It is
the good men, good once, we must hope good still, who are to do the work
of Anti-Christ and so sadly to crucify the Lord afresh…. Bear in mind
this feature of the last days, that this deceitfulness arises from good
men being on the wrong side."
--Fr. Frederick Faber, Sermon for Pentecost Sunday, 1861; qtd. in Fr. Denis Fahey, The Mystical Body of Christ in the Modern World (text here)
