love only that which they defend

.

“War must be, 

while we defend our lives 

against a destroyer 

who would devour all; 

but I do not love 

the bright sword for its sharpness, 

nor the arrow for its swiftness, 

nor the warrior for his glory. 

I love only that which they defend.” 

(J. R. R. Tolkien, 

Faramir in The Lord of the Rings – The Two Towers)

If not YOU, than Who?

"It is not surprising 

that the same  
twisted logic 

that accepts the Bible, 

but not the infallible instrument 

(the Church) 

by which Christ 
gave the scriptures to us; 

.

produces also the 
prideful arrogance 

which ignores the immaculate person 

(Mary, Mother of God) 

by which the Father 

brought us 
the Son".
