“THE sun is clearly reflected in pure and clear water, but not in dirty water. So it is with men: a man of blameless life easily finds his way to the truth, but the sensual man does not perceive the things that are of the Spirit of God (1 Cor. 2:14). A mirror that is dim reflects badly, or not at all. So the soul, which is a mirror on which the light falls from God, cannot receive the truths of faith if it is dimmed by vice.”

— The Catechism Explained, Rev. Francis Spirago (Ed. Richard Clarke, S.J., 1890)
