We need to start making bigger fig leaves for ourselves!
AELW1:169
"Only after the Law has come, does it become clear what we have done. But when sin has been brought to light it appears to carry with it such great disgrace that the minds cannot bear having looked at. Therefore it tries to cover it. No one wants to appear as what he is, even though he is a thief, an adulterer, or a murderer. The heretics, too, refuse to acknowledge their error but defend it most obstinately and wish to appear as true Catholics.(sic) In order to attain this they sew together very wide leaves of the fig tree; that is, they try every device they can find to gloss over and mitigate their error."
