"I don't think fisherman need to hide the hook from the simple. The simple are small fry. The fisherman wants the big fish - that's who he baits the hook for."

Actually, when +Isidore wrote that line, it was in reference to the Nestorian heresy which had made inroads among certain of the hierarchs, it is true. But the big problem was the success this heresy was having among the common folk...rather like the success many of the ancient heresies are having today.
