'Tis known by the name of perseverance in a good cause--and of obstinacy in a bad one.-Laurence Sterne (1713-1768)_Tristram Shandy_ [1760]; Book 1, Chapter 17
"There is no truth more suited to impart confidence and strength, comfort and joy in the Lord than this one of union with Christ." –Murray
It is not permitted to scrutinize the mysteries on high with the intention of comprehending them.~Thomas Aquinas
You are as much serving God in training your own children, as you would be if you lead an army to battle for the Lord.- Charles Spurgeon @Spurgeon_
The patrons of the false Europe are bewitched by superstitions of inevitable progress. They believe that History is on their side, and this faith makes them haughty and disdainful, unable to acknowledge the defects in the post-national, post-cultural world they are constructing. Moreover, they are ignorant of the true sources of the humane decencies they themselves hold dear—as do we. They ignore, even repudiate the Christian roots of Europe. At the same time they take great care not to offend Muslims, who they imagine will cheerfully adopt their secular, multicultural outlook. Sunk in prejudice, superstition and ignorance, and blinded by vain, self-congratulating visions of a utopian future, the false Europe reflexively stifles dissent. This is done, of course, in the name of freedom and tolerance.itself as the forerunner of a universal community that is neither universal nor a community.- The Paris Statement, http://archbishopcranmer.com/paris-statement-true-false-europe/
