The Deadly Denial Of Truth
By FR. KEVIN M. CUSICK
What does a 900-year-old crusader sword discovered underwater by divers have in common with a rape on a Philadelphia commuter train last week?
They both point to the fact that human nature hasn’t changed much, if at all, in the past millennia.
Divers made the exciting discovery of a weapon dating to the Third Crusade in 13 feet of water. It’s easy for us to imagine a time when everybody had to be their own police force, body guard, and army combined. If you didn’t carry a weapon, you couldn’t defend yourself. If you didn’t defend yourself, there was no guarantee anybody else would. In those days you didn’t just call grab your cell phone and call 911.

Hello Father,
ReplyDeleteA prescient piece for our times. I have only one suggestion, the following line:
"There is only one tragedy more dire: to lose one’s faith and, with it, the immortal soul’s enjoyment of eternal life."
I think that the noun enjoyment is not appropriate here. Instead of enjoying, the joy should be in the opportunity to participate in eternal life.
All the best,
Adam
