Indirect apologetics is a battle to find truth and if we are to come together in truth there must be an edge of truth that is present on both sides which the cross of Christ can bridge. We must have fairness and see the truth in others if we are to bring them from the truth that they possess to a fuller truth in Christ. To discern Christ in our enemies is a supernatural task that is only possible by saints who are able to perceive the edge of truth and not fall into heresy.

Austin,
If you get this comment I hope you'd be open to answering a few questions about your blog, which by the way I find very worthwhile...Why no recent posts though?
You write:

I am in total agreement...Jesus is the Bridge Over Troubled Water. Simon and Garfunkle just couldn't spell it out because of their cultural bias/blindness.
I have started my own blog site at
http://eucharist-emc2.blogspot.com/
and I too beleive in the indirect approach, to mass our efforts at the "soft-underbelly" of the culture of death.
My dilemna is that I believe that I might have been offered an "Ace of Spades" a trump card that makes favors the direct approach, be a faulty strategy.
If God has given mankind a "gift" that relates the Truth of His absoluteness and creative handiwork that is revealed through, with and in Our Lord Jesus Christ—the sole mediator between God and Man—this "gift" is a pearl of great price.
E=mc2 might be this pearl...the legacy of Albert Einstein may be the crusted over oyster shell that has yet to reveal to the world an understanding of its precious contents.
Catholics are called to go deep to harvest this gift. We must see with Marian-Trintarian, univeral understanding of the both/and nature of our faith.
I sense that you can help me to share my burden, to carry my cross.
I still have yet to crack the nut as to how to get traffic at my site. Maybe you can help?
Sincerely yours in Jesus and Mary,
Mike Rizzio, SOLT
