Such churches may invite and suffer temporary periods of unpopularity -- by standing up for West Indian immigrants, say, or refusing indiscriminate baptism. But on the whole, the storms are weathered by churches, and ministers, whose interest in the community and presentation of the faith [are] alert and genuine. Even so, the Church has every excuse for getting itself disliked: none at all for escaping notice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your definition of success and happiness is very important when it's time for the spotlight or limelight to shine on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63066]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your definition of success and happiness is very important when it's time for the spotlight or limelight to shine on you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of John Vianney, Curè d'Ars, 1859  [Christ] is the breathing forth of the heart, life and spirit of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7738]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of John Vianney, Curè d'Ars, 1859  [Christ] is the breathing forth of the heart, life and spirit of God into all the dead race of Adam.

They, too, stress the leap of faith and make irrationality almost a principle, dismissing the serious questions of seeking modern men as intellectual smoke-screens or diversions to conceal deeper personal problems. All this masks a desperate intellectual insecurity, barely disguised by the surrounding hedge of taboos to preserve purity. The strident intolerance of much guilt-driven evangelism betrays the same insecurity. In these circles, much that is taught has to be unlearned in the wider school of life, and it is not surprising that universities are littered with dropouts from such groups. Their non-rational, subjective faith is cruelly punctured by varsity-level questions, and many manage to survive only by resorting to a severely schizophrenic faith which they hold to be true religiously but not intellectually, historically, or scientifically.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Young in limbs, in judgment old. -The Merchant of Venice.
