We see more clearly than often has been the case that ecclesiology and christology are one. The ekklesia, the community of believers, has as its first and foremost qualification that it is that community which, as community, belongs to Christ and is in Christ, and as such is the sphere of God's salvation, redemption, and reconciliation, and of Christ's rulership. This is the archetypal reality of the Church. To see and seize this essential point is a great blessing. This blessing, however, could as well become a curse, if it remained a theme of theological meditation and self-contemplation. This new knowledge is not real knowledge if it is not accompanied by a horror about the alienation of the empirical Church from its own fundamental reality and by a deep longing for a tangible manifestation of the Church's true nature. This horror and this longing are the deeper motives which are operating in many of the events and passionate discussions around the place and responsibility of the laity as an organic part of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We should be eternally vigilant against attempts to check the expression of opinions that we loathe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44997]]></link><description><![CDATA[We should be eternally vigilant against attempts to check the expression of opinions that we loathe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Scientific research sooner or later, but inevitably, encounters something ultimately given that it cannot trace back to something else of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56803]]></link><description><![CDATA[Scientific research sooner or later, but inevitably, encounters something ultimately given that it cannot trace back to something else of which it would appear as the regular or necessary derivative.

This agreement being made, the Physician, time after time, applied his salve to her eyes, and on every visit took something away, stealing all her property little by little. And when he had got all she had, he healed her and demanded the promised payment. The Old Woman, when she recovered her sight and saw none of her goods in her house, would give him nothing. The Physician insisted on his claim, and. as she still refused, summoned her before the Judge. The Old Woman, standing up in the Court, argued: This man here speaks the truth in what he says; for I did promise to give him a sum of money if I should recover my sight: but if I continued blind, I was to give him nothing. Now he declares that I am healed. I on the contrary affirm that I am still blind; for when I lost the use of my eyes, I saw in my house various chattels and valuable goods: but now, though he swears I am cured of my blindness, I am not able to see a single thing in it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not only is it harder to be a man, it is also harder to become one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27037]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not only is it harder to be a man, it is also harder to become one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27037</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No rock so hard but that a little wave may beat admission in a thousand years. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46189]]></link><description><![CDATA[No rock so hard but that a little wave may beat admission in a thousand years.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1878]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What, shall one of us, That struck for the foremost man of all this world  But for supporting robbers--shall ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4911]]></link><description><![CDATA[What, shall one of us, That struck for the foremost man of all this world  But for supporting robbers--shall we now   Contaminate our fingers with base bribes,    And sell the mighty space of our large honors     For so much trash as may be grasped thus?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have always said that a conference was held for one reason only, to give everybody chance to get sore ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61184]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have always said that a conference was held for one reason only, to give everybody chance to get sore at everybody else.

Genuine spiritual authority is to be found only where the ministry of hearing, helping, bearing, and proclaiming is carried out. Every cult of personality that emphasizes the distinguished qualities, virtues, and talents of another person, even though these be of an altogether spiritual nature, is worldly and has no place in the Christian community; indeed, it poisons the Christian community...   Genuine authority realizes that it can exist only in the service of Him who alone has authority... The Church does not need brilliant personalities but faithful servants of Jesus and the brethren...   Pastoral authority can be attained only by the servant of Jesus who seeks no power of his own, who himself is a brother among brothers to the authority of the Word.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8611</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And poets by their sufferings grow,-- As if there were no more to do,  To make a poet excellent, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46848]]></link><description><![CDATA[And poets by their sufferings grow,-- As if there were no more to do,  To make a poet excellent,   But only want and discontent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unless what we do is useful, our glory is vain. [Lat., Nisi utile est quod facimus, stulta est gloria.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17557]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unless what we do is useful, our glory is vain. [Lat., Nisi utile est quod facimus, stulta est gloria.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Get your feet on the ground. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48558]]></link><description><![CDATA[Get your feet on the ground.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whom conscience, ne'er asleep, Wounds with incessant strokes, not loud, but deep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9809]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whom conscience, ne'er asleep, Wounds with incessant strokes, not loud, but deep.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9809</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's trying, but you only have to go through it one time.
