LiturgicalCredo: faith doubt speculation wonder
|
"The majority of mankind is lazy-minded,
incurious, absorbed in vanities, and tepid in
emotion, and is therefore incapable of either
much doubt or much faith." - T.S. Eliot
"We no longer dare to believe in beauty and
we make of it a mere appearance in order the
more easily to dispose of it. Our situation
today shows that beauty demands for itself
at least as much courage and decision as do
truth and goodness, and she will not allow
herself to be separated and banned from her
two sisters without taking them along with
herself in an act of mysterious vengeance.
We can be sure that whoever sneers at her
name as if she were the ornament of a
bourgeois past – whether he admits it or not
– can no longer pray and soon will no
longer be able to love."
-Hans Urs von Balthasar
