“Sin is a terrible fact, but at least it is matched by the consoling fact that God never rejects the sorrowing sinner. The modern world tries to explain sin away, deny the plain facts, and make vice and virtue synonyms. But it has no pity in its cold soul for sinners and no hope to offer the man or the woman who knows the sadness of sin and looks for comfort. It is left for the merciful, sin-crucified Christ to clasp the penitent sinner to His heart.” SinCatholicCatholicismCatholic Spirituality Book:Fashionable Sin: A Modern Discussion of an Unpopular Subject Source: Fashionable Sin: A Modern Discussion of an Unpopular Subject
“In other words the sinner can be only part of a man. He must substitute for the whole of life only his sinful part of it. He must close his life to everything but his vice and what he hopes to wring from it, or he is doomed to misery.” SinCatholicCatholicismCatholic Spirituality Book:Fashionable Sin: A Modern Discussion of an Unpopular Subject Source: Fashionable Sin: A Modern Discussion of an Unpopular Subject
