It would not be true to affirm that the denominations are not religious groups with religious purposes; but it is true that they represent the accommodation of religion to the caste system. They are emblems, therefore, of the victory of the world over the church, of the secularization of Christianity, of the church's sanction of that divisiveness which the church's gospel condemns.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And we had thought that our hard climb out of that cruel valley led to some cool, green, and peaceful, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23572]]></link><description><![CDATA[And we had thought that our hard climb out of that cruel valley led to some cool, green, and peaceful, sunlit place but it's all jungle here, a wild and savage wilderness that's overrun with ruins.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Roman senate, when within The city walls an owl was seen,  Did cause their clergy, with lustrations  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45335]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Roman senate, when within The city walls an owl was seen,  Did cause their clergy, with lustrations   . . . .    The round-fac'd prodigy t' avert,     From doing town or country hurt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes democracy must be bathed in blood. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27928]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes democracy must be bathed in blood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27928</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That whose existence is necessary must necessarily be one essence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29754]]></link><description><![CDATA[That whose existence is necessary must necessarily be one essence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The real reason for comedy is to hide the pain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20091]]></link><description><![CDATA[The real reason for comedy is to hide the pain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That which makes the vanity of others unbearable to us is that which wounds our own. [Fr., Ce qui nous ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60381]]></link><description><![CDATA[That which makes the vanity of others unbearable to us is that which wounds our own. [Fr., Ce qui nous rend la vanite des autres insupportable, c'est qu'elle blesse la notre.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not aw'd to duty by superior sway. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13048]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not aw'd to duty by superior sway.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is the delusion that one woman differs from another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25867]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is the delusion that one woman differs from another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no despair so absolute as that which comes with the first moments of our first great sorrow, when ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12032]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no despair so absolute as that which comes with the first moments of our first great sorrow, when we have not yet known what it is to have suffered and be healed, to have despaired and have recovered hope.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12032</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difficulties arise when we ask how much this polar complementarity [of the sexes] should be reflected in the structure ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6391]]></link><description><![CDATA[The difficulties arise when we ask how much this polar complementarity [of the sexes] should be reflected in the structure of social life, both domestic and public. The New Testament [again, and notoriously, in the person of St Paul] assumes that there will be places other than the bedroom in which men and women assume consciously differentiated roles. They will do so in the affairs of the home, in which the wife is to "submit" to her husband (Eph. 5:22ff) as head. They will do so even outside the context of family life, since man is "head" of woman in some sense; in quite another context, when the Church is at worship (I Cor. 11:2ff). In order that St Paul should not be misjudged, we must note--(a) that this relational ordering of male and female presupposes a fundamental generic equality (I Cor. 11:1 ff); and (b) that the "submission" of the wife is a special case of a "submission" of all Christians to one another, and complements a husband's love that is to be expressed in self-sacrifice (Eph. 5:2lff, 25ff). The apostle is not an apologist for male tyranny.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We enter the world alone, we leave it alone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57179]]></link><description><![CDATA[We enter the world alone, we leave it alone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is like an earthquake-unpredictable, a little scary, but when the hard part is over you realize how lucky you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26000]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is like an earthquake-unpredictable, a little scary, but when the hard part is over you realize how lucky you truly are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Candor is the brightest gem of criticism ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16625]]></link><description><![CDATA[Candor is the brightest gem of criticism]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16625</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Because of Katrina, everybody's having a lot of stress, so we thought we have to have it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39619]]></link><description><![CDATA[Because of Katrina, everybody's having a lot of stress, so we thought we have to have it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With devotion's visage, And pious action, we do sugar o'er  The devil himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51265]]></link><description><![CDATA[With devotion's visage, And pious action, we do sugar o'er  The devil himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Controversies merely speculative are of small importance in themselves, however they may have sometimes heated a disputant, or provoked a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10071]]></link><description><![CDATA[Controversies merely speculative are of small importance in themselves, however they may have sometimes heated a disputant, or provoked a faction]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10071</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's tough because it happened so fast.
