Plus l'Humanité se raffine et se complique, plus les chances de désordre se multiplient et leur gravité s'accentue ; car on n'élève pas de montagne sans creuser des abîmes, et toute énergie est également puissance pour le bien et pour le mal. Tout ce qui devient souffre et pèche. La vérité sur notre attitude en ce monde, c'est que nous y sommes en croix.

Fundamentalism reeks. If fundamentalism reeked for one or two reasons, we may not need to address it. But fundamentalism reeks for a multitude of reasons. Fundamentalism reeks for at least 95 reasons.

Essays exploring the edges, and edginess, of faith and freethought. Former minister Chris Highland presents another collection of essays primarily drawn from his weekly columns in the Asheville Citizen-Times (North Carolina).

C'è un'ansia di cambiamento nel mondo. Papa Francesco la raccoglie nei suoi gesti e nelle sue parole, specialmente in un tempo di crisi quale quello che stiamo vivendo. È chiaro che abbiamo tutti bisogno di capire che cosa ci sta accadendo, di dare una lettura umana e spirituale di quel che viviamo. Francesco, come si comprende in questo volume, assimila la visionedi sant'Ignazio di Loyola così come emerge negli Esercizi Spirituali.

I was raised Catholic. You can all bless me now. Surviving a Catholic upbringing is a lot like surviving a repetitive hurricane. Just when you think you’ve got enough protection from the danger someone (Usually my Mother) throws a curve ball of Catholic guilt at you and you’re stuck trying to remember if it is a sin or not, whether it requires a confession, and the amount of shame you should feel. It’s like dodging the hurricane all over again. Depression runs a rough shot in the Catholic religion and trust me, I know why. Happiness is frowned upon.

The Good Book collects new pieces by writers from many different faiths and ethnicities, including literary fiction writers (Colm Tóibín, Edwidge Danticat, Tobias Wolff, and Rick Moody); best-selling nonfiction writers (A. J. Jacobs, Ian Frazier, Adam Gopnik, and Thomas Lynch); notable figures in the media (Charles McGrath, Cokie Roberts, and Steven V. Roberts); and social activists (Al Sharpton and Kerry Kennedy).

For C. S. Lewis, reason and logic are the sensible way to approach faith and ethics. Much of the 20th century's ills are caused by ill-founded beliefs and opinions. Lewis' original approach remains as vital today as ever. He is able to take the most convoluted subject, turn it side on and shed bright illumination on it. To be able to see along things rather than at them - just like a beam of sunlight that invades the darkness of a toolshed - is, to Lewis, the way to understanding.

Ce livre a pour vocation de vous faire naviguer vers l'âme du monde. Il n'a pas pour prétention de détenir l'ultime "vérité" mais de vous faire voyager sur de nouveaux chemins de réflexions philosophiques, grâce à l'apport actuel de nos connaissances scientifiques. La meilleure chose que je puisse vous y promettre est qu'en parcourant cette analyse, chacun y découvrira LA réponse adaptée à son propre niveau de conscience et tout le potentiel qu'il recèle au fond de lui.

On constate actuellement que l'évolution des sociétés s'accompagne d'une perte de référence à la transcendance ; l'hédonisme ambiant, l'esprit libertaire, les découvertes biologiques et technologiques, les nouveaux modèles économiques et sociaux conduisant à un individualisme destructeur de l'humanisme. Où cela nous mènera-t-il ?

My adventure started one day as I considered writing a fiction story using Heaven as the main stage. You know - bright lights, angels, and wonderful people living in pleasant villages. That was the beginning of an adventure that would be 60 pages of scribbled wonder. So I could write about Heaven, I decided to ask God to allow me to visit there. Putting it mildly, going to Heaven would steal away my breath. Since the visit in 1991 my thinking and outlook on life changed me. I was already a Christian - but this was different.

L'humanité présente hésite et souffre, au comble de sa puissance, parce qu'elle n'a pas défini son pôle spirituel. Elle manque de Religion. En face du phénomène évident et inéluctable de la "totalisation humaine", la seule attitude possible est d'"accepter", de se fier, et de se lancer courageusement en avant, escomptant que la Vie, qui nous jette dans ce creuset, nous aidera à développer la chaleur spirituelle (les forces de sympathie et d'Amour) qui nous fera sortir de la transformation, non pas mécanisés, mais humanisés et personnalisés.

In a time when temporary amusements abound, lasting happiness seems harder to find. Creature comforts promise happiness, yet depression is a growing pandemic. Why do some people, with access to every earthly amusement, find themselves desperately unhappy while others can discover happiness despite suffering and uncertainty? How does one manage to manifest unshakeable joy in the midst of immeasurable suffering? The answer is simple: some people have discovered true joy, while others are distracted by false joys. Lasting joy has nothing to do with luck or circumstance – it is an intentional...

Thoughtful reflections for active humanists from a freethinking former minister.

What’s in your barn… reminds us of who we are as created beings and inspires a purpose filled way of life. We are not deserving of the gift of life or of the benefits it brings but instead we should count ourselves privileged and blessed for God’s unmerited favour. The decisions we make create our path and influence a way of life for others. We should therefore be reminded that the path of life is for every one and comes with no detours; this path is inevitable and takes us all from "the cradle to the grave."

Using the Ordinary and Universal Magisterium of the Church this article proves that Communion on the hand is not a sin nor sacrilege. The article does not comment about if reception on the tongue or the hand is better. The focus is to calm the consciences of others who receive on the hand -- especially during the pandemic. Using quotes from Vatican II, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the saints and Scripture a robust response for those who receive communion on the hand is presented which side steps historical and conspiracy theories to get to the heart of the matter -- obedience.
