St. Peter Canisius: Respectful theological discourse

"One characteristic of St. Peter Canisius (was) that he was able to harmonise fidelity to dogmatic principles with the respect due to each individual. ... In a historical period of deep confessional contrasts, he avoided severity and the rhetoric of anger, something fairly rare in discussions among Christians at that time, ... and sought only to explain our spiritual roots and to revitalise faith in the Church". - Pope Benedict XVI.

I wish we could all engage in such respectful debate when dealing with Church matters.
