The rabbis and priests and ministers stopped talking about sin. The jurists picked it up and turned sin into a crime, and finally psychiatrists converted it into a complex. The result is that no one is a sinner.
Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen (via twocrowns)
Catholic-baiting is the anti-Semitism of the liberals.
Peter Viereck
The bureaucrat is my personal favorite as far as antiheroes go. There is nothing more sinister than sin and death dressed up as benevolence, light, and reason.
“The leader and governor of men who does not take into account the intricacies of their hearts will condemn a people to unhappiness.”
— Russell Kirk
For many people, when confronted with the mysterious, the other, the instinct is to kill it.
Joy Williams, The Art of Fiction No. 223 (via theparisreview)
Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio - Portrait of the poet Homer
If we want character, in the old unique sense of being ‘a character,’ we are much more likely to find it in Christians who accepted the Imitation of Christ than in all these millions of materialists who are taught to imitate each other.
G.K. Chesterton, Illustrated London News, Feb. 25, 1928 (via apesoformythoughts)
Rod Dreher published some excerpts from his readers about the cult of transgender. A public school teacher writes (anonymously) of the pressure to conform to the LGBTQ agenda for fear of getting blacklisted. A young woman writes of transitioning in order to avoid our hyper sexualized culture. Finally, an atheist writes of how he can find more common ground with Christians than the god of the state, thanks to the transgender movement.
Quiet friend who has come so far, feel how your breathing makes more space around you. Let this darkness be a bell tower and you the bell. As you ring,
what batters you becomes your strength. Move back and forth into the change. What is it like, such intensity of pain? If the drink is bitter, turn yourself to wine.
In this uncontainable night, be the mystery at the crossroads of your senses, the meaning discovered there.
And if the world has ceased to hear you, say to the silent earth: I flow. To the rushing water, speak: I am.
— Rainer Maria Rilke

If the man merely escapes from those who are slowly poisoning him, to some extent the very air he breathes will be an antidote to his poison.
G.K. Chesterton, The Outline of Sanity (via vague-notions)
A brother came to see Abba Macarius the Egyptian, and said to him, ‘Abba, give me a word, that I may be saved.’ So the old man said, ‘Go to the cemetery and abuse the dead.’ The brother went there, abused them and threw stones at them; then he returned and told the old man about it. The latter said to him, ‘Didn’t they say anything to you?’ He replied, ‘No.’ The old man said, ‘Go back tomorrow and praise them.’ So the brother went away and praised them, calling them, ‘Apostles, saints and righteous men.’ He returned to the old man and said to him, ‘I have complimented them.’ And the old man said to him, ‘You know how you insulted them and they did not reply, and how you praised them and they did not speak; so you too if you wish to be saved must do the same and become a dead man. Like the dead, take no account of either the scorn of men or their praises, and you can be saved.
From the Sayings of the Desert Fathers (via axionestinosalithos)
-St. Irenaeus
I nend prayer like never before. I don’t know what I’m going through but I’m trying my best to go through it and believe God awaits on the other side.
One of the first things the devil always does is to make people stop praying.
St. John Vianney (via sermoveritas)
Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Alice Paul, and Charlotte Lozier are all included as the original feminists who were pro life. They understood that the rights of women cannot be built on the broken backs of unborn children. Anthony called abortion “child murder.” Paul, author of the original 1923 Equal Rights Amendment, said that “abortion is the ultimate exploitation of women.” (+)
