And a real encouragement as we embark on another year in the battle for life. - Cathy Ruse Thu, 05 Jan 2012 06:10:42 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2012/new-year-deja-vu.html#comment-9389 "the angels keep their ancient places"--there are not only the great questions but amazing answers which make the battle joyful even in suffering. God is greater than all the evil we have to deal with. Happy New Year! - Dan Grimm Tue, 03 Jan 2012 16:58:26 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2012/new-year-deja-vu.html#comment-9388 Thank you, Professor Arkes! I am reminded of the sociologist Rayber's attempt to impress Francis Marion Tarwater. He tells the lad to look at all the great technological advances man has made. Look at the airplane, how amazing that is! It can fly! "Buzzards can fly," says Tarwater. - Tony Esolen Tue, 03 Jan 2012 16:30:06 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2012/new-year-deja-vu.html#comment-9386 Dr. Arkes and Other Joe are correct in seeing the seeds of this evil in mankind's Promethean arrogance at playing the god who can understand all and make paradise on Earth or Mars out of material cosmos God hath made. Please grant me some patience as I once again connect the dots betwen that awful interantional bloodletting that that abruptly on June 25, 1950 shattered the short peace after "wthe War" and all the other wickedness which denies God and merely culminates in abortion. They were all of a piece, for the North Korean forces which invaded South Korea with the connivance of Stalin and Mao were part of the same force that teaches our young that blasphemy is art and lust is love. If we do not teach our young that this enemy is one many-deaded monster we are leaving them shiels but without swords. - Thomas C. Coleman, Jr. Tue, 03 Jan 2012 13:32:01 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2012/new-year-deja-vu.html#comment-9381 The entire progressive project is based on the concept that it is possible to outrun our nature. There is always shock and consternation when our nature asserts itself to confound the counsels of the elite. The premise that we can be like gods is the master lie that enables the utopian quest. It is a very old lie, first whispered by the serpent in the garden. Our technology has not transformed humanity, it has merely provided a wider stage on which to act out our humanity, fallen as it is. Technology is dangerous to the extent that it distracts us from the truth of our condition. I don't know why I am rattling on here. Churchill and Mr. Arkes have already said it all. - Other Joe Tue, 03 Jan 2012 07:30:53 +0100
