I was in a facebook debate group between Catholics and Protestants, a Protestant brought up the following quote:
27. Great, therefore, is the mystery of Christ, before which even angels stood amazed and bewildered. For this cause, then, it is your duty to worship Him, and, being a servant, you ought not to detract from your Lord. Ignorance you may not plead, for to this end He came down, that you may believe; if you believe not, He has not come down for you, has not suffered for you. "If I had not come," says the Scripture, "and spoken with them, they would have no sin: but now have they no excuse for their sin. He that hates Me, hates My Father also." John 15:22-23 Who, then, hates Christ, if not he who speaks to His dishonour?— for as it is love's part to render, so it is hate's to withdraw honour. He who hates, calls in question; he who loves, pays reverence.--St Ambrose, Book 4, chapter 2, paragraph 27 http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/34044.htm
