I Forget The Name Of The Place;

The Society Of Christendom And Especially Of Western Christendom Up To The Explosion, Which We Call The Reformation, Had Been A Society Of Owners: A Proprietarial Society. It Was One In Which There Remained Strong Bonds Between One Class And Another, And In Which There Was A Hierarchy Of Superior And Inferior, But Not, In The Main, A Distinction Between A Restricted Body Of Possessors And A Main Body Of Destitute At The Mercy Of The Possessors, Such As Our Society Has Become.

When Friendship Disappears Then There Is A Space Left Open To That Awful Loneliness Of The Outside World Which Is Like The Cold Space Between The Planets. It Is An Air In Which Men Perish Utterly.

Let Us Then Repeat And Firmly Fix This Main Point: The Evil, The Root Evil, Of That To Which The Term Capitalism Has Come To Be Applied, Is Neither Its Functioning For Profit Nor Its Dependence Upon Legally Protected Private Property; But The Presence Of A Proletariat, That Is Of Men Possessing Political Freedom, But Dispossessed Of Economic Freedom, And Existing In Such Large Numbers In Any Community As To Determine The Tone Of All That Community.

Wherever The Catholic Sun Doth Shine, There’s Always Laughter And Good Red Wine. At Least I’ve Always Found It So. Benedicamus Domino!

The Church Is A Perpetually Defeated Thing That Always Outlives Her Conquerers.
