The Scriptures indeed were at hand for the study of those who could avail themselves of them, but St. Iranaeus does not hesitate to speak of whole races who had been converted to Christianity, without being able to read them. To be unable to read or write was in those times no evidence of want of learning; the hermits of the deserts were, in one sense of the word, illiterate, yet the great St. Anthony, though he knew not letters, was a match in disputation for the learned philosophers who came to try him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47295]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47295</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We lost out by a flip of the coin.

Indeed, materials for a full biography have been withheld from men. The earliest converts were converted by a single historical fact (the Resurrection) and a single theological doctrine (the Redemption) operating on a sense of win which they already had...

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[To be sure, nothing is more important to the integrity of the universities than a rigorously enforced divorce from war-oriented ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36272]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be sure, nothing is more important to the integrity of the universities than a rigorously enforced divorce from war-oriented research and all connected enterprises.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36272</guid></item></channel></rss>
