“Evolutionists see in this gradation [of organic things] evidence that the ‘higher forms’ of life developed from the ‘lower forms.’ What they ought to see is not that one thing evolved from another, but that all things came from the same Maker, who, like human artists, inclines to repeat and re-apply and develop the same ideas in one thing and another.”
– Fr. James Wathen
God the Father made mankind and all creatures through the Son; and again, when we were fordone, he sent that same Son for our redemption. The holy mother Mary then nourished that child with great veneration, and it waxed, as other children do, without any sin.
“Blessed be the Lord my God, who teacheth my hands to fight, and my fingers to war.”
– Psalms 143:1
“When the Judge His seat shall gain,
All that’s hidden shall be plain,
Nothing shall unjudged remain.”
– Excerpt from the “Dies Irae”
“For We admire in him not only supreme height of genius but also the immensity of the subject which holy religion put to his hand. If his genius was refined by meditation and long study of the great classics it was tempered even more gloriously, as We have said, by the writings of the Doctors and the Fathers which gave him the wings on which to rise to a higher atmosphere than that of restricted nature. And thus it comes that, though he is separated from us by centuries, he has still the freshness of a poet of our times: certainly more modern than some of those of recent days who have exhumed the Paganism banished forever by Christ’s triumph on the Cross.” – Pope Benedict XV
