Whenever a person dwells chiefly, or even frequently, on the faults of other people's religions, he is in a bad condition.

We have made men proud of most vices, but not of cowardice. Whenever we have almost succeeded in doing so, God permits a war or an earthquake or some other calamity, and at once courage becomes so obviously lovely and important even in human eyes that all our work is undone, and there is still at least one vice of which they feel genuine shame. The danger of inducing cowardice in our patients, therefore, is lest we produce real self-knowledge and self-loathing, with consequent repentance and humility.

It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak.

Your people eat dry and tasteless flesh but it is off plates as smooth as ivory and as round as the sun.

The vice I am talking of is Pride or Self-Conceit: and the virtue opposite to it, in Christian morals, is called Humility...According to Christian teachers, the essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride. Unchastity, anger, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere flea bites in comparison: it was through Pride that the devil became the devil: Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind.

Evil comes from the ABUSE of free will

Be confident small immortals. You are not the only voice that all things utter, nor is there eternal silence in the places where you cannot come.
