Not even after Mass can one assume anything about the parishoner standing next to you. That number: 54%. How could so many Catholics be deluded by this man, his ideas, his world view, his hostility to the Faith? Then there are the priests, nuns, even bishops... My journey to the Church has been long, I've arrived late, and I'm not going anywhere. Still, some days... - Graham Combs Sun, 16 Aug 2009 20:27:56 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/theres-keble.html#comment-2526 Thanks Professor and Willie, a wonderful article and comment! I was thinking this morning on the way to work about the word tolerance and the abject misunderstanding of the word that modernity marches behind. We must be intolerant of bad principles, but not of people. In regards to those who would "strike a deal" with the culture of death, it is adding poison to the drinking water, even a little will spoil it all. Thanks again Professor McInerny - Achilles Tue, 11 Aug 2009 17:49:37 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/theres-keble.html#comment-2525 I have never heard of John Keble, but it seems he would be the last to look around and say "who will bear the standard today." Rather, it seems as if he would rely on those from the past. I'm currently reading about Clement of Rome and, particularly, Ignatius of Antioch, who refused to compromise with the civil leaders of the day; it cost them their lives. These strike me as the sort of authoritative figures that John Keble would have relied on. - Deacon Sean Smith Tue, 11 Aug 2009 17:48:27 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/theres-keble.html#comment-2524 A very fine article indeed, but also depressing as it should be. “A change you can believe in" seems to be changing into a change you cannot believe in if you are a Christian. One has to be naïve not to see the storm clouds approaching. As some wander around trying to find “ common ground" and a “sensible conscience" on Truth, one wonders if there will be any Kebles come forth. Those who hold Bible, Tradition and Church dearly are counter-cultural and disrespected. Pray for courage. - Willie Tue, 11 Aug 2009 10:06:30 +0100
