I love the reference to St. Augustine on Genesis, under your title of "Love Desires to know the Beloved," and I cannot help but make a play that we Catholics become deeply, deeply versed in Holy Scripture, which is the Church's book and ignorance of which, according to no less than St. Jerome, is ignorance of Christ. I think were Catholics much more Bible-literate than we tend to be, our love of God would be strengthened, our apostolates would receive fresh impulse, and many of the pseudo-problems that beset the Church might just begin to fall away. I have in mind St. Thomas' conviction that one of the ends of sacred theology was to equip the theologian to read with profit the Sacred Page. - Dave Sun, 15 Apr 2012 05:55:58 +0100
