“[W]e must remind ourselves that the Catholic righteousness by good works is vastly preferable to a protestant righteousness by good doctrine. At least righteousness by good works benefits one’s neighbor, whereas righteousness by good doctrine only produces lovelessness and pride.”

— Herman Bavinck (1854-1921), Dutch Calvinist, writing six decades before Vatican II (via Richard Mouw) (via wesleyhill)
