It is perverse to regard certain relatively superficial self-perception to be dearer than the very life that made it possible.

Hmm. I think there's a certain existential nobility to the notion--something like, "Better to die free than to live a slave". Self-preservation at any cost is not so universal a maxim that departure from such is necessarily "perverse".
“The truth of our faith becomes a matter of ridicule among the infidels if any Catholic, not gifted with the necessary scientific learning, presents as dogma what scientific scrutiny shows to be false.”
