'...the insistence on moral rigor can be deadening to culture, can make it like a barren soil soaked in chemical poisons, unless the moral sensibility of the church is very finely tuned. The church must discriminate only against real evil. Otherwise, it can exert a sterilizing force similar to the straits which Communist states have sometimes imposed on their artists.'
Richard Lovelace, Dynamics of Spiritual Life, p.345.
