Loving a Church, Living the Faith

Loving a Church, Living the Faith: A Response to Andrew Sullivan by Nathan Nelson. Read about a Catholic who is trying to live the holy life that Jesus calls us all to live. Instead of tearing the Church down and telling the Church how it should follow his impulses, Mr. Nelson is willing to obey the call and submit his will to the will of God. Good stuff. Read his conversion story here.

"But we prefer, if it must be so, to be less wise in the Scriptures, than to be wise against them. We are as much bound to keep the sense of the Lord as His precept. Transgression in interpretation is not lighter than in conversation."
[Tertullian]
[De Pudicitia 9:22]

"How beautiful, then, the marriage of two Christians, two who are one in hope, one in desire, one in the way of life they follow, one in the religion they practice. They are as brother and sister, both servants of the same Master. Nothing divides them, either in flesh or in spirit. They are, in very truth, two in one flesh; and where there is but one flesh there is also but one spirit. They pray together, they worship together, they fast together; instructing one another, encouraging one another, strengthening one another. Side by side they visit God's church and partake of God's Banquet; side by side they face difficulties and persecution, share their consolations. They have no secrets from one another; they never shun each other's company; they never bring sorrow to each other's hearts."
[Tertullian]
[Ad Uxorem II, 8, 7]

"Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read."
[Groucho Marx]
