Mandeville, LA - "No rank, whether of civil or divine law, can be held in grace without holy justice. For those who are not corrected and those who do not correct are like members beginning to rot, and if the doctor were only to apply ointment without cauterizing the wound, the whole body would become fetid and corrupt. So it is with prelates or with anyone else in authority. If they […]
Mandeville, LA - ON PEASANT PROPRIETORSHIP If we leave things as they are, there will almost certainly be a crash of confiscation. "I have not dealt with any details touching distributed ownership, or its possibility in England, for the reason stated in the text. This book deals with what is wrong, wrong in our root of argument and effort. This wrong is, I say, that we will go forward because we […]
Mandeville, LA - [Editor's note: This site and the Mike Church Show have held Dr Fesser's position since the rumors about this began, but Dr. Fesser has placed the crisis in such an unambiguous form that the question must now be answered by every good-willed Catholic: confess the licit Death Penalty as dogma or be pronounced anathema. - Ed. MC] "If Pope Francis really is claiming that capital punishment is […]
Mandeville, LA - This, therefore, is, in conclusion, my reason for accepting the religion and not merely the scattered and secular truths out of the religion. I do it because the thing has not merely told this truth or that truth, but has revealed itself as a truth-telling thing. The outer ring of Christianity is a rigid guard of ethical abnegations and professional priests; but inside that inhuman guard you will […]
Mandeville, LA - "Catholic virtue is often invisible because it is the normal," answered MacIan. "Christianity is always out of fashion because it is always sane; and all fashions are mild insanities. When Italy is mad on art the Church seems too Puritanical; when England is mad on Puritanism the Church seems too artistic. When you quarrel with us now you class us with kingship and despotism; but when you quarrelled […]
Mandeville, LA - "The Chicago of my boyhood was an intensely Catholic city. Ask someone where he lived and he was likely to answer with the name of his parish (St. Nicholas of Tolentine, St. Gregory’s). Catholic culture was everywhere in the country a hundred-fold stronger then than now Catholic culture was everywhere in the country a hundred-fold stronger then than now, and the Catholic atmosphere was especially strong in […]
Mandeville, LA - "What the signs [of the times] actually tell us is that now—far more than in the past—the times distract us from eternity. Love of God is the first and greatest commandment, but no one today pays attention to it. Ultimate things are considered a private hobby that shouldn’t distract us from the practical realities that are what really matter. Politics, education, and high and low culture tell […]
Mandeville, LA - [Editor's note: I have taken Norman Angell's point from The Great Illusion and added 'America' to the antagonizing country to illustrate that the point he was making in 1910 is even more relevant today.] "The forces which have brought about the economic futility of military power have also rendered it futile as a means of enforcing a nation's moral ideals or imposing social institutions upon a conquered […]
Mandeville, LA - "The truth is that when Christ was born Pan for the first time began to stir in his grave. The pagan gods had become pure fables when Christianity gave them a new lease of life as devils. Thus wine was a sacrament with Christ; but drunkenness was not a sacrament as with Dionysus. I venture to wager that if you found one man in such a society […]
