Finitude (cont.)

27. Acknowledgement of our limits should give us warning that to absolutize the doctrines of any human community is absurd. Every community, like every individual, is subject to turning its finitude into an occasion of sin. The claim to know all truth (or, at least, its indispensable outlines) is absurdly at odds with our own littleness and limitations. The point is not that truth is relative. It is that our grasp of truth is relative.
