"Not to oppose error is to approve it; and not to defend truth is to suppress it, and, indeed, to neglect to confound evil men - when we can do it - is no less a sin than to encourage them." - Pope St. Felix III
"Preciso es acudir a María, a aquella que justamente la Iglesia llama salud, auxilio y protección, a fin de que propicia a las plegarias que le son agradables, se digne otorgarnos el implorado socorro, y nos libre del impuro contagio".
S.S. León XIII, Encíclica Superiore Anno
Without the burden of afflictions, it is impossible to reach the height of grace. The gift of grace increases as the struggle increases.
St. Rosa de Lima
"I have something for sale."
"What, O Lord?"
"The kingdom of heaven."
"How is it to be purchased?"
"The kingdom by poverty; joy by sorrow; rest by labour; glory by vileness; life by death."
- St. Augustine
Grant me Your grace, O most merciful Jesus, that it may be with me, and work with me, and remain with me to the very end. Grant that I may always desire and will that which is most acceptable and pleasing to You.
"Las ilusiones del diablo pronto se desvanecen, especialmente si un hombre se arma con la Señal de la Cruz. Los demonios tiemblan ante la Señal de la Cruz de nuestro Señor, por la cual Él los venció y los desarmó".
San Antonio Abad.
"La práctica del Santo Rosario es grande, sublime Y divina. El Cielo nos la ha dado para convertir a los pecadores más endurecidos Y a los herejes más obstinados".
San Luis María Grignion de Montfort. †
The older generations are going about combatting Socialism in all the wrong ways. For them, the answer is and always has been laissez faire Capitalism, ironically the very system that produces Socialism.
— Socialism, a revolutionary movement identified by two main markers: ruthless class warfare and the abolition of private property.
The best and only solution is to provide a true alternative to both laissez faire Capitalism and Socialism: the so-called third position.
The third position is natural and nothing other than Catholic economics:
• Economy ordered towards common good
• Recognition of private property, while still maintaining its social aspect
• Class cooperation
• Worker solidarity
• Public authorities recognize positive duty to morally regulate economy
For my thoughts are not your thoughts: nor your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
For as the heavens are exalted above the earth, so are my ways exalted above your ways, and my thoughts above your thoughts.
