Tolerance leading to Despair

.

“In the world it is called Tolerance,
but in hell it is called Despair,
the sin that believes in nothing,
cares for nothing,
seeks to know nothing,
interferes with nothing,
enjoys nothing,
hates nothing,
finds purpose in nothing,
lives for nothing,
and remains alive
because there is nothing for which it will die.”
Dorothy L. Sayers

Some things never change

.
"Those who commit these types of scandals
are guilty of the spiritual equivalent of murder,
but I',
here among you to prevent something far worst for you.
While those who give scandal
are guilty of the spiritual equivalent of murder,
those who take scandal-
who allow scandals to destroy faith-
are guilty of spiritual suicide."
St. Francis de Sales

Nipsey does Theology of the Body

like an old record

a lil' framing job I'm quite fond of

That's Entertainment

.
All the fuss over some silly ol' preacher in Florida has proved once again we have given the all mighty media way too much power.
Me thinks if Shakespeare was alive today he would have good ol Dick the butcher shouting

"The first thing we do, let's kill all the media
. . .and than the lawyers"

Dan Brown's Hollywood Playbook

.

"The devil is no fool.
He can get people feeling about heaven
the way they ought to feel about hell.
He can make them fear the means of grace the way they do not fear sin.
And he does so, not by light but by obscurity, not by realities but by shadows; not by clarity and substance, but by dreams and the creatures of psychosis. And men are so poor in intellect that a few cold chills down their spine will be enough to keep them from ever finding out the truth about anything."
