"That is why Christianity is not easily accepted when it presents itself as true religion. I recall a young man who said to me recently: “Above all, don’t tell me that Christianity is true. That upsets me, that blocks me. It’s quite something else to say that Christianity is beautiful....”
Cardinal Martini in America Magazine (linked from Whispers in the Loggia)
'But my dear Sebastian, you can't seriously believe it all.'
'Can't I?'
'I mean about Christmas and the star and the three kings and the ox and the ass.'
'Oh yes, I believe that. It's a lovely idea.'
'But you can't believe things because they're a lovely idea.'
'But I do. That's how I believe.'
Brideshead Revisited, Evelyn Waugh |
I like that. That's good.
Waugh wasn't to far off, now was he? Like a Boy named Sue, give a fella a gals name and he grows up sharp.
