In his address, Bishop Fulton Sheen specifically critiques the intelligentsia, referring to those who are educated but perhaps overly so, to the point where their learning leads to arrogance rather than wisdom. He argues that this group often assesses religion and spirituality through a skewed lens of intellectual superiority, failing to grasp the deeper, more fundamental truths of faith. Sheen points out that the intelligentsia tend to judge religious matters based on their own standards and knowledge, rather than seeking to understand or appreciate the intrinsic values and teachings of faith traditions. This intellectual pride, according to Sheen, leads to a disconnect with genuine religious experience and a misunderstanding of the role and essence of faith in human life. He urges this group to approach religion with humility and openness, to understand that true knowledge comes not just from intellectual learning but also from the wisdom imparted through faith and conscience.
