It is to such a degree an element of our thinking that we hardly notice it. It has been since the first centuries a standard view, a means to give account of the, indeed, often disappointing state and quality of Christian faith and practice in the Church as it appeared. As such it is understandable; but nevertheless it proceeds more from the counsels of worldly wisdom than from the faith-as-response by which the Church should live, and the call to incessant renewal under which the Church stands as "God's own household", "growing into a holy temple in the Lord". However stubborn and refractory the stuff of ordinary reality may be -- and it is -- the Church, though with clear realism seeing this reality, can never permit itself to put the divine indicatives and imperatives, which are her peculiar directives and points of orientation, behind considerations which are properly speaking worldly in character.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6676</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes comes to the top. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15305]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes comes to the top.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Magnanimous people have no vanity, they have no jealousy, and they feed on the true and the solid wherever they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60402]]></link><description><![CDATA[Magnanimous people have no vanity, they have no jealousy, and they feed on the true and the solid wherever they find it.
