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[While your client is watching for you at the front door, slip out at the back. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50392]]></link><description><![CDATA[While your client is watching for you at the front door, slip out at the back.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best economic development strategy for the next few years lies in fostering entrepreneurs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29365]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best economic development strategy for the next few years lies in fostering entrepreneurs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Epicureans, that ascribed the origin and frame of the world not to the power of God, but to the fortuitous ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8700]]></link><description><![CDATA[Epicureans, that ascribed the origin and frame of the world not to the power of God, but to the fortuitous concourse of atoms.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Does there, I wonder, exist a being who has read all, or approximately all, that the person of average culture ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4023]]></link><description><![CDATA[Does there, I wonder, exist a being who has read all, or approximately all, that the person of average culture is supposed to have read, and that not to have read is a social sin?
