The Eucharist is "the source and summit of the Christian life."
No one is forced to be a Christian. But no one should be forced to live according to the "new religion" as though it alone were definitive and obligatory for all mankind.
To live without faith, without a patrimony to defend, without a steady struggle for truth – that is not living, but existing.
Celibacy is always, shall we say, an affront to what man normally thinks. It is something that can be done, and is only credible, if there is a God and if celibacy is my doorway into the kingdom of God.
Evil too, will always be part of the mystery of the Church. And when we see what men, what the clergy have done in the Church, then that is nothing short of proof that he [Christ] founded and upholds the Church. If she were dependent on men, she would long since have perished.

With public money going to fund university employees like this woman, which souls black as night, it's very evident the society they serve is not heading in an upward trajectory.
