"In these times of doctrinal confusion, we must take particular precautions not to give way in the content of our faith, not even in the slightest degree, for if one yields ground on any single point of Catholic doctrine, one will later have to yield to another, and again in another, and so on until such surrenders come to be something normal and acceptable. And, when one gets to rejecting dogma bit by bit the final, the result will be the repudiation of it altogether."

(Saint Vincent of Lerins from Narrations, 23, from In Conversation With God, Volume 1:6.2)
