In vain will the world seek for equality until it has
seen men through the eyes of faith.
Faith teaches that all men, however poor, or ignorant, or crippled, however
maimed, ugly, or degraded they may be, all bear within themselves the image of
God, and have been bought by the precious blood of Jesus Christ. As this truth
is forgotten, men are valued only because of what they can do, not because of
what they are.
--Archbishop Fulton Sheen, Preface to Religion
