Let us admit that it is part of the fallen human nature of ecclesiastics, no less than of others in responsible positions, to desire always criteria of judgement which can be used without making too heavy demands upon the delicate faculty of spiritual discernment, clear-cut rules by which we may hope to be saved from making mistakes -- or rather, from being obviously and personally responsible for the mistakes. We are uncomfortable without definite principles by which we may guide our steps. We fear uncharted country, and the fanatics of all kinds who, upon the alleged authority of the Holy Spirit, summon us with strident cries in all directions simultaneously. Only those who have never borne the heavy burden of pastoral responsibility will mock at the cautious spirit of the ecclesiastic.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Charles, King & Martyr, 1649  Whatever task God is calling us to, if it is yours, it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7688]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Charles, King & Martyr, 1649  Whatever task God is calling us to, if it is yours, it is mine, and if it is mine, it is yours. We must do it together -- or be cast aside together, and God in his absolute freedom goes on by other means to use His Church in hastening His Kingdom.  ...Howard Hewlett Clark    January 31, 1998  Commemoration of John Bosco, Priest, Founder of the Salesian Teaching Order, 1888  The axioms of reason are non-demonstrable assumptions. Why should faith not be granted the same privilege? The denial of the truths of faith is, in the last analysis, no less a faith than faith itself, for it rests on personal assumptions which are apart from scientific necessity. In other words, as the truth of reason carries its own evidence, so also with faith. To the mind to whom the axioms of reason are not self-evident, they cannot be proven. So also in the case of faith: for the mind that is not enlightened by faith, the evidence of faith is ridiculous. But for the man whose eyes have been enlightened by the Spirit, faith has its proper evidence, though different from that of reason. The only sufficient ground of faith is the authority of God Himself as he addresses me in His Word.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One's eyes are what one is, one's mouth is what one becomes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66238]]></link><description><![CDATA[One's eyes are what one is, one's mouth is what one becomes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4737]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One should judge a man mainly from his depravities.
