Em 1886, o poeta e diplomata francês Paul Claudel, um jovem ateu, brilhante, racionalista, convencido de que a fé era coisa de gente atrasada, entrou por acaso na Catedral de Notre-Dame em Paris, no dia de Natal. Não ia rezar. Ia observar. No momento em que o coro cantou o Magnificat, ele foi subitamente atingido (a palavra é dele) por uma presença que não cabia em nenhuma de suas categorias. Não houve debate. Não houve prova. Houve um desabamento. Claudel saiu da catedral convertido, e passou o resto da vida tentando explicar, em prosa e verso, o que lhe aconteceu naqueles minutos: que a verdade não precisou de sua autorização para ser verdadeira.
You'll never see a leader act this way with a Prot. pastor. It just shows how badly every generation needs a vicar; a real life encounter with Christ today... not just stories from 2000 years ago.
What more evidence is needed of a degraded and decadent society than the fact that in the aftermath of the abolition of religion, our sole remaining source of culture is the entertainment industry?
Did you know that King James (yes that one) personally wrote a manual on demonology that became largely influential in the Protestant world's embrace of witch hunting?
Rash judgement is the sin of drawing moral conclusions about a situation you can't possibly know enough about to make such judgements. It's a symptom of pride. Today I logged on to X to find people arguing about who to blame for an airplane that JUST crashed.
This confirms what so many Christian thinkers have been saying for a very long time: the beauty industry reduces the human person to a shallow image. The implication now, is that mere images are replaceable.

It’s been tough. I generally hate asking for help, but the bills are stacking up, and I don’t know what else to do. If you’re able, please consider helping us out.

There are only two groups who were consistent about covid. Those who said it was a deadly plague and followed everything and still do today.
And then those who understood it was a media driven panic not based in reality at all.
Only one was right.
