It was in God's ultimate design of man that He made it so that human beings can be converted in their hearts through those things which possess inate beauty, goodness, & truth. People can find God in the beauty of nature and science....

However, in
the Catholic Church
the Catholic Church
we especially find God in
the beauty of the sacred
so that our minds are
raised to God.
Catholics
& non catholics
are being being evangelised
anew by the restoration
of the sacred,

Traditional Roman Catholicism
is the search for beauty, goodness
and truth.
. All that is beautiful, all that is good, all that is truth leads us to God, because God is beautiful, God is good, God is truth... Society is strong, it is solid, if it is edified on the beauty, goodness, and truth that has been created by God alone.
Beyond this, and in human terms, the best missionary strategy is one that moves from the beautiful, to the good, and finally to the true. To evangelise starting off with the (Catholic) truth invariably amounts to telling someone, from the start, that 'they are wrong', which as many Catholics know tends to upset people and can be counterproductive. Evangelising starting with the beautiful and good is the surest way to someone discovering the truths of our Faith.

Our Catholic faith also requires all
of its traditional aspects to draw
those, both on the inside and outside of the Church, into the sacred,
spiritual, & transcendent so that people are led, using all of the human senses, into
the inner truths of Christ's Holy Catholic Church.

A new search for beauty, goodness, & truth focused on God (and not man) is now needed so that we can once again fully transmit the authentic Gospel message, and the mission of Christ's Catholic Church.
