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 more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10913]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?"]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Setting themselves against reason, as often as reason is against them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53094]]></link><description><![CDATA[Setting themselves against reason, as often as reason is against them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All men love peace in their armchairs after dinner; but they disbelieve the other nations's professions, rightly measuring its sincerity ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27732]]></link><description><![CDATA[All men love peace in their armchairs after dinner; but they disbelieve the other nations's professions, rightly measuring its sincerity by their own. - Oscar Firkins: Memoirs and Letters.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27732</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think he will probably come round in time, I mean to renew the subject pretty often. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34413]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think he will probably come round in time, I mean to renew the subject pretty often.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'll tell you.
