”The Poem of the Man-God” – tale sublime,
Truth of the Gospel, retold for our time.
”The Poem of the Man-God” – tale sublime,
Truth of the Gospel, retold for our time.
Often our world of lies says, “Black is white.”
With God for measure, Catholics measure right.
Readers, wait for it, take in advance a hint –
When the agreement comes, read the fine print!
No doctrine? Then apostasy will win.
Doctrine must be maintained, through thick or thin.
To think that two and two are four,
And neither five nor three,
The heart of man has long been sore,
And long ‘tis like to be.
—A.E. Housman (1859–1936)
Without God man lives badly, and not well.
His “civilisation” soon will crash to Hell.
The Shepherd is struck, the sheep are all dispersed.
Authority is upside down, reversed.
Over the Church now madness seems to reign.
The Psalmist’s trust we need, amidst our pain.
God will at last rescue his Church, of course,
But Catholics must cry out, till they are hoarse.
Of “mind-rot” did the Archbishop never speak?
With other words he too said minds are weak.
To a doubting French journalist the author of “Eleison Comments” expresses confidence that the imminent Motu Proprio will do much good.
Indeed, it both declares that the Tridentine Mass was never banned, and permits Latin rite priests to use it, whenever and wherever.
By overloading our eyes and ears, said Kafka, the cinema overwhelms our minds. Minds being overwhelmed means that lies triumph.
In his outstanding Encyclical of 100 years ago, Pius X nailed the deadly error of modern times: minds’ independence from their object.
Despite many Catholics’ reservations as to the content and motivation of the Motu Proprio, one may still believe it will do good.
