Though I'm curious as to why the Pensees made the Church's list of forbidden books as late as 1937? - Jim Fri, 11 Sep 2009 15:22:38 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/pascals-memorial.html#comment-2916 What if he's a Muslim? Then not believing what is not true would earn him a reward. And believing what is not true would earn him a punishment of course. Just saying. - Jacob Fri, 11 Sep 2009 00:28:06 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/pascals-memorial.html#comment-2885 Once again, Ralph McInerny sets me on my heels. From "Boethius and Aquinas" to "Preambula Fidae," he (with Maritain and Pieper) are true fathers of my philosophical faith. It is always a treasure and pleasure. - Jeffrey Wed, 09 Sep 2009 00:13:32 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/pascals-memorial.html#comment-2880 "Becoming a Christian is like falling in love and what lover does not delight in recalling the day and the hour?"

Yet there are those who always want to eradicate “this infamous thing" from their culture. For sure the Catholic Church is the religion of history. To not take seriously this one solitary figure who claimed to be God is a foolish gamble - Willie Tue, 08 Sep 2009 10:00:45 +0100
