St. Teresa of Avila and G K Chesterton show us what the goal of all writers should be.
St. Teresa of Avila:
-"And
as I think that Your Reverence, and others who are to see this, will do
what, for love of the Lord, I am asking you, I am writing quite freely.
In any other case, I should have great scruples about writing at all,
except to confess my sins."
-"So Your Reverence must take the
responsibility for everything beyond the simple story of my life (since
you have importuned me so earnestly to write some account of the favors
which God grants me in prayer), if it be in accordance with the truths
of our holy Catholic Faith; and if it be not, Your Reverence must burn
it at once -- I am quite willing for you to do that."
-"I will
describe my experiences, so that, if what I write is in accordance with
these truths, it may be of some use to Your Reverence; if it be not, my
soul will be disillusioned, and, if I am not gaining anything myself, as
I trust I am, there will at least be no gain for the devil. The Lord
well knows that, as I shall say later, I have always tried to seek out
those who will enlighten me."
G K Chesterton:
-"The greatest friend of Truth is time, her greatest enemy is Prejudice, and her constant companion Humility."
-"Sin has many tools, but a lie is the handle which fits them all."
-"Don't be "consistent" but be simply true."
-"The
only right way of telling a story is to begin at the beginning--at the
beginning of the world. Therefore all books have to be begun in the
wrong way for the sake of brevity."
Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Mass and the Church as
well as for the Triumph of the Kingdom of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and
the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
September 15, 2020 Everyone knows that sexual predator ex-cardinal Theodore McCarrick is a liar. His whole life was a lie of betrayal of the most sacred vows he took and the violation of the moral tenets of the Catholic faith which he desecrated. Most people don't realize that part of this desecration of lies included lying for "gravely sinful" Democrats like Joe Biden. McCarrick protected Biden when then head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (later to be Pope Benedict XVI) wrote that bishops were not to admit to Communion politicians like "gravely sinful" Biden who supports the killing of unborn babies. McCarrick lied for politicians like Biden by ignoring the important parts of the Ratzinger letter and told bishops not to ignore the Catholic Church law. Last year, Fr. Robert Morey denied Holy Communion to the “gravely sinful” Biden following a "2004 decree signed jointly by the bishops of
