“The men who were running the church in the late '60s and '70s panicked when they saw the chaos, which developed after the council. The relatively modest changes of those years thawed the ice in which Catholicism had been frozen since the French Revolution.” MenYearsRunningChurchSawsHe ManRevolutionLateChaosIceCatholicismModestFrozenCouncilFrench Revolution Author:Andrew Greeley
“Even as he would be guilty of falsehood who would, in the name of another person, proffer things that are not committed to him, so too does a man incur the guilt of falsehood who, on the part of the Church, gives worship to God contrary to the manner established by the Church or divine authority, and according to ecclesiastical custom.” MenGivingPersonsDoeWould BeNamesChurchDivineHe ManAuthorityWorshipGuiltCommittedContraryGuiltyCustomsCatholicismFalsehood Book:Summa Theologica.ed Source: Summa Theologica.ed
“A church can wither as surely under the ministry of soulless Bible exposition as it can where no Bible is given. To be effective the preacher's message must be alive; it must alarm, arouse, challenge; it must be God's present voice to a particular people. Then, and not till then, is it the prophetic word and the man himself a prophet.” PeopleMenGivenVoiceChallengesChurchAliveParticularHe ManMessagesProphetPreacherMinistryAlarmsPropheticSoulless Author:Aiden Wilson Tozer
“When we see the many grave-stones which have fallen in, which have been defaced by the footsteps of the congregation, which lie buried under the ruins of the churches, that have themselves crumbled together over them; we may fancy the life after death to be as a second life, into which man enters in the figure, or the picture or the inscription, and lives longer there than when he was really alive. But this figure also, this second existence, dies out too, sooner or later. Time will not allow himself to be cheated of his rights with the monuments of men or with themselves.” MenMayHas BeensTogetherLyingDiesChurchExistenceAliveRightsFiguresHe ManStonesGravesRuinsFallenFancyBuriedSooner Or LaterLong LifeMonumentAfter DeathFootstepsCheatedCongregationLife After DeathInscriptions Author:Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“We are a people of many races, many faiths, creeds, and religions. I do not think that the men who made the Constitution forbade the establishment of a State church because they were opposed to religion. They knew that the introduction of religious differences into American life would undermine the democratic foundations of this country. What holds for adults holds even more for children, sensitive and conscious of differences. I certainly hope that the Board of Education will think very, very seriously before it introduces this division and antagonism in our public schools.” PeopleThinkingMenChildrenMadeCountryStatesSchoolDifferencesChurchReligiousRaceAtheismHe ManConsciousAdultsConstitutionFoundationDemocraticPositive AtheismSensitiveBoardsDivisionEstablishmentIntroducingCreedsPublic SchoolIntroductionAmerican LifeAntagonismBoard Of EducationReligious Differences Author:John Dewey
“... work is only part of a man's life; play, family, church, individual and group contacts, educational opportunities, the intelligent exercise of citizenship, all play a part in a well-rounded life.
