The old saint is right on the money as usual. See what you think.

Some condemn Christians saying: “Christians are misers, usurers, drunkards, gluttons, envious and spiteful to each other [and let’s not forget the favorite mantra of critics of Christians today: ignorant and bigoted].” Indeed there are some like this but the description does not fit all Christians. If you want to describe the present-day Church, do it as Scripture does: “As a lily among thorns, so is my beloved among women” (Song of Songs 2.2). Someone hears about the Church and weighs the matter. The lily is attractive, so they enter. They stay close to the lily and tolerate the thorns. Some enter believing that all members are good, especially those with religious or clerical vocations. Others revile those supposedly “holy souls” for being far from perfect. Both those who only praise and those who only criticize are wrong. Those who praise must admit that there are some bad people among church members; those who criticize must not ignore the many who are good [but the modern critics often do].
