It was a very stupid mistake to think you could deal with heresy by burning heretics. It's the very same mistake that modernist Catholics are making today in reverse. They think you can love heretics by loving heresies.

The best answer to the problem of evil is not one so much found on paper but on wood.
Peter Kreeft
Image
The only reason you are not yet a saint is because you do not wholly want to be one.

God continuously comes into the world in two places - at the altar and in the womb.
Peter Kreeft
Image
The womb is like an altar, it's the place where God continually comes into the world and does what only God can do...create.

A God who did not abolish suffering-worse , a God who abolished sin precisely by suffering-is a scandal to the modern mind.
Peter Kreeft
Image
How you approach the problem of suffering depends on how you approach life itself. There are only two ways. Either meaning is surrounded by matter, or matter is surrounded by meaning.

Americans' deepest religion is often equality. The notion that Christ alone is God-superior, authoritative, supernatural-and that Christ's teaching and person is far greater than Buddha's, or Muhammad's, or Moses's, no matter how much great and good wisdom may be contained in those others, is scandalous.

Humility is the marriage bond of Heaven. Pride is the frigidity of Hell.
Peter Kreeft
Image
The national anthem of hell is, I Did It My Way.
Peter Kreeft
Image
To God each one of us is His favorite. God's love comes to all, but it comes to all as each, not to all as some anonymous aggregate.
Peter Kreeft
Image
We can't avoid reasoning we can only avoid doing it well.

If there is a God, there is a map. If God has a map, his map is the true map.
