[He too] remains threatened by the question of whether belief is not after all the reality it claims to be. . . . Anyone who makes up his mind to evade the uncertainty of belief will have to experience the uncertainty of unbelief, which can never finally eliminate for certain the possibility that belief may after all be the truth. It is not until belief is rejected that its unrejectability becomes evident."<br /><br /> http://www.firstthings.com/onthesquare/2007/10/does-doubt-belong-to-faithkkollwitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17691145638703824456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8781753636089506134.post-24003819446163035702010-11-02T06:08:55.365-04:002010-11-02T06:08:55.365-04:00It is just a beautiful line!

Just ..."Doubt is the handmaid of Faith."<br /><br />Just to confirm this isn't my line; it's at least 130 years old.kkollwitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17691145638703824456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8781753636089506134.post-64551854326340698982010-10-29T19:02:10.606-04:002010-10-29T19:02:10.606-04:00Doubt is the handmaid of Faith.

Why is Andrew Greeley even REMOTELY considered a Catholic priest anymore?<br /><br />The moment I saw that name associated with any survey, I had a sneaking hunch it'd be nothing more than cooperative pap with an anti-Catholic press. Unfortunately, that appears to be precisely the case. Or has "Father" Greeley written to NBC and protested their unfortunate wording?<br /><br />Yeah. Right. Two chances of that happening.<br /><br />(sigh)<br /><br />JBJannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06725527285837338560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8781753636089506134.post-6622136459020284562010-10-22T20:22:19.710-04:002010-10-22T20:22:19.710-04:00Doubt is the handmaid of Faith.
My impression is ...Doubt is the handmaid of Faith.<br /><br />My impression is that whatever the subject, the Church has the most comprehensive understanding. Thus to think in concert with the Mind of the Church is to tap into that great reservoir of knowledge and reflection.kkollwitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17691145638703824456noreply@blogger.com
