Pray To St Joseph For Fathers, To Help Save Lives. "There is no doubt that most women going for an abortion have been let down by the father of their baby. Some are abandoned, some forced to abort, but most have just heard the terrible line from him...." mariastopsabortion.blogspot.com

“A people that has forgotten its traditions, its ancestors, and the sacrifices that bought its freedom is a people already conquered. For the man without memory is easily ruled, and the man without roots is easily led.” — Hilaire Belloc

The Church cannot move with the times; simply because the times are not moving. The Church can only stick in the mud with the times, and rot and stink with the times.

A thrilling day for me at the Ray Bradbury Center in Indianapolis. Bradbury is a most important literary influence in my life-- and I got to sit in Ray Bradbury's writing chair...

“Because the horror of Communism, Stalinism, is not that bad people do bad things — they always do. It's that good people do horrible things thinking they are doing something great.” Slavoj Žižek, born 21st March 1949

@RL_Stine He was a great admirer of #Chesterton.

@DurhamWASP He’s a Chesterton lover; strange but true.

@Andrewnsnyder Consider this is the same author who inspired Gilbert Keith Chesterton to write his first brief novel when he was a child, and the subsequent inspiration #GKC sparked in #JRRT and #CSL…

In 1916, seemingly on a whim, C.S. Lewis picked up Phantastes at a book stall in Leatherhead. This is the book that Lewis says baptized his imagination and set him on a very different path than his espoused materialism would have allowed. Without this stroke of providence, we might not have the Lewis we read today. It is also very possible that we would not have the Tolkien we read today.

If you want people to stay as they are, tell them what they want to hear. If you want them to grow, tell them what they need to hear.

You can make a story out of a hero among dragons; but not out of a dragon among dragons.

The Church discussed everything so long ago that people have forgotten the discussion.

Nine out of ten of what we call new ideas are simply old mistakes. The Catholic Church has for one of her chief duties that of preventing people from making those old mistakes; from making them over and over again forever, as people always do if they are left to themselves.
