Every age and understanding ought to have a measure of government suitable to it. As often therefore as children, or those under age, commit faults, and are incapable of understanding the greatness of the punishment of excommunication, let them be punished by rigorous fasting, or sharp stripes, that so they may be corrected.' Tsh Oxenreider’s unique appreciation for the endurance of St. Monica with her strong-willed childrenBeginning with the childhood of Joseph Smith and ending with the Mormon exodus from Nauvoo, Illinois. [1] On its publication, the book received praise from prominent French literary figures, [5] [6] and through time has also been praised by critics and politicians in Europe and the United States, but has also been criticized by both French- and English-language commentators for conveying themes described as racism, [2] [7] [8] [9] xenophobia, nativism, monoculturalism, and anti-immigration content.

[3] [12] [11] Inspiration [ edit ] Awake, my soul, awake! show thy spirit, arouse thy senses, shake off the sluggishness of that deadly heaviness that is upon thee, begin to take care for thy salvation. Let the idleness of vain imaginations be put to flight, let go of sloth, hold fast to diligence. Be instant in holy meditations, cleave to the good things which are of God: leaving that which is temporal, give heed to that which is eternal. Now in this godly employment of thy mind, to what canst thou turn thy thoughts more wholesomely and profitably than to the sweet contemplations of thy Creator’s immeasurable benefits toward thee.'

And what is virginal chastity but purity free from stain? And whom can we judge to be its author but the immaculate Son of God, Whose flesh saw no corruption, Whose Godhead experienced no infection? Consider, then, how great are the merits of virginity. Christ was before the Virgin, Christ was of the Virgin. Begotten indeed of the Father before the ages, but born of the Virgin for the ages. The former was of His own nature, the latter is for our benefit. The former always was, the latter He willed.'You are not the only one whom Jesus Christ treats thus: how many penitents have I not had whom the Lord has treated in this way nearly to the day of their death! One of them was continually tempted to hate God; another said without intermission that she had been condemned never to be able to love God, etc.; nevertheless they all died a happy death. And as for you, of what are you afraid? If you had not this cross of desolation, you would not have any cross in She is so full of love that no one who asks for her intercession is rejected, no matter how sinful he may be. The saints say that it has never been known since the world began that anyone had recourse to our Blessed Lady, with trust and perseverance, and was rejected. Her power is so great that her prayers are never refused. She has but to appear in prayer before her Son and he at once welcomes her and grants her requests. He is always lovingly conquered by the prayers of the dear Mother who bore him and nourished him.' believe to have consented to them. I say this and take it on my conscience. Do not do so even if you were at the point of death; for there is no sin in all that, as far as you are concerned. The sentiments of which you speak are apprehensions, fears; but they are not sins.'

But not to be too flip, I am concerned that we have people, in our country of immigrants, that don't recognize and appreciate how culture, like language, grows and changes. What is white culture anyways? How many of us are actually purely white, or purely anything? Who doesn't eat food or listen to music or look at art that has come from other countries and mish mashed with what we have here already? Colors of skin have been changing all along and always will. In 1978, the white supremacist nut-job William Luther Pierce (using the pseudonym "Andrew Macdonald") wrote The Turner Diaries, which in 1995 inspired Timothy McVeigh to blow up the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. Deze van een extreemrechtse zweem doordrongen editie is tot mijn grote verbazing opgenomen in het Schwob-programma van het Nederlands Letterenfonds. Ik zal hen hierover aanschrijven, om meer duiding te krijgen over hun keuze. 'De blauwe tijger' zelf heb ik reeds aangeschreven om hen te melden dat de 2de druk krioelt van ergerlijke fouten: typo's, ontbrekende woorden, taalfouten, verkeerde hoofdstuknummering, etc. Ik telde er meer dan 50: op een boek van net geen 400 pagina's is dat om de 8 pagina's een fout. Ik kreeg nog geen antwoord. The priest's vestments, namely, the amice, alb, cincture, maniple, stole, and chasuble should be in a good condition and have been blessed by the bishop or by an authorized priest. It is certainly a mortal sin to celebrate Mass without a chasuble, or with a chasuble not blessed; the same thing holds good in regard to the alb. Theologians agree more or less in saying the same thing in regard to the other vestments.'

In the meantime the divine mercy was at work substituting for these thoughts others suggested by his recent readings. While perusing the life of Our Lord and the saints, he began to reflect, saying to himself: "What if I should do what Saint Francis did?" "What if I should act like Saint Dominic?" He pondered over these things in his mind, and kept continually proposing to himself serious and difficult things. He seemed to feel a certain readiness for doing them, with no other reason except this thought: "Saint Dominic did this; I, too, will do it." "Saint Francis did this; therefore I will do it." These heroic resolutions remained for a time, and then other vain and worldly thoughts followed. This succession of thoughts occupied him for a long while, those about God alternating with those about the world. But in these thoughts there was this difference. When he thought of worldly things it gave him great pleasure, but afterward he found himself dry and sad. But when he thought of journeying to Jerusalem, and of living only on herbs, and practising austerities, he found pleasure not only while thinking of them, but also when he had ceased. This difference he did not notice or value, until one day the eyes of his soul were opened and he began to inquire the reason of the difference.' Walker, Sydney (February 11, 2020). " 'Saints, Volume 2' features women's perspectives, native voices, context on controversial topics". Church News. According to literary scholar Jean-Marc Moura, native French people are described in the novel as "[giving] in without a blow to the hyperbolic egalitarianism that 'swallows' them down to the rank of third-world men ... In such a context, racist deviations are inevitable ... The plot is thus biased, since the cards are dealt in such a way that racism and ostracism become conditions for survival. By painting the Third World in such aggressive colours, it gives Western characters little choice: destroy or die." [10] The book is a scathing indictment of those attitudes which, 40 years after its publication, have thoroughly and permanently gripped Western Europe, and which have come to hold about half of the American electorate in thrall as well. Raspail doesn't describe it in great detail, but he mentions in passing the masses of Latin American immigrants coming entering the US from the south, joining with their "underground" brethren already in the country to ravage New York in the way that France is ravaged by the Indian invasion. It's breathtaking prescience when considering the debate today about immigration, legal and illegal, and its effects on the US.

Dr. Christena Cleveland’s praise for St. Catherine of Alexandria’s fight for intersectional justice I pray, O God, to know thee, to love thee, that I may rejoice in thee. And if I cannot attain to full joy in this life may I at least advance from day to day, until that joy shall come to the full. Let the knowledge of thee advance in me here, and there be made full. Let the love of thee increase, and there let it be full, that here my joy may be great in hope, and there full in truth. Lord, through thy Son thou dost command, nay, thou dost counsel us to ask; and thou dost promise that we shall receive, that our joy may be full. I ask, O Lord, as thou dost counsel through our wonderful Counselor. I will receive what thou dost promise by virtue of thy truth, that my joy may be full.'
