For every sin my wandering heart conceives “the dust is sweeter than the Living God”. What monstrous bargain is this? To leave the King for beggar’s rags; to cast aside the pearl beyond all price & clasp corruption to a willing breast.
I choose the world—& lo! what world is this?

“Do not go outside yourself, return to yourself: truth dwells in the interiority of man and, if you find that your nature is changeable, transcend yourself too.”
— Saint Augustine of Hippo
Paraphrasing Peter Hitchens (@ClarkeMicah): “I don’t know of a country more finished than this one [UK]. It is completely finished”

When Fulton Sheen returned from Europe with an exceptional education, he expected to teach at The Catholic University of America.
Instead, his bishop sent him to a parish in Peoria.
Why?
“I was afraid you might become proud. I wanted to find out if you were obedient.”
Sheen obeyed.
Eight months later, he was appointed to teach at the university.
Obedience is not proven when authority agrees with your ambitions, but when you humbly submit to legitimate authority, even when its decisions contradict your own plans.

“You are dying. I see in you all the characteristic stigma of decay. I can prove to you that your great wealth and your great poverty, your capitalism and your socialism, your wars and your revolutions, your atheism and your pessimism and your cynicism, your immorality, your broken-down marriages, your birth-control, that is bleeding you from the bottom and killing you off at the top in your brains—I can prove to you that those were characteristic marks of the dying ages of ancient States—Alexandria and Greece and neurotic Rome.”
— Oswald Spengler, The Decline of the West

While exiled in Switzerland, Bl. Emperor Karl was approached by a group of freemasons.
They offered to restore him to power, on the condition that he legalize freemasonry.
His response?
"As a Catholic Prince, I will never accept from Satan what has been given to me by God."

Since legalisation in 1967, there have been over 11 million abortions in Britain.
Today, there are around 11 million foreign nationals living in the country.
Food for thought.
