sanctorum-communio:

“It has always been far from me to think that God’s mercy allows itself to be circumscribed by the visible church’s boundaries. God is truth. All who seek truth seek God, whether this is clear to them or not.”

— Edith Stein, Self-Portrait In Letters, 1916-1942

God’s very essence is Truth. The seeking of any Truth in any venue is to seek God. The attaining of that Truth is, at least in some degree, the attainment of God Himself. Or more specifically, God’s revelation of Himself to us in our searching.

Do not discourage the searching for Truth. The desire for Truth is given only by God. Without His intervention we simply seek ourselves.
