No amount of liaison between the Church and the source of any other authority, political or moral, must be allowed to obscure the simplicity -- and the mystery -- of the authority of Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8368</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself.
