Still holy people today. St. Hildegarde even made the prophecy that people during our time would long for their days based on the visions she had. I have read a good bit of her writings, they're utterly fascinating. St. Thomas Aquinas is my confirmation saint btw.
Should intellectually curious people be afraid of arguments about, well, anything? It is in the confrontation between dissimilar thoughts that understanding can arise after all, those who just preach to the choir end up neither enlightening nor enlightened. If the argument turned into a pie-throwing contest it would make sense to curtail it. Before that time, not so much.
