Description
St. Gregory the Great tells us that more men are drawn towards Heaven by the force of example than by the effects of argument. If this be true in reference to mankind in general, it is especially so with regard to the child. The child is formed on example. The truths of faith learned in the Catechism are for the most part unintelligible to him. He requires to have them sketched out as in a picture before he can take in their meaning. Children delight...

Indeed, so great is the evil of sin, that if, through the blessing of God, this little treatise should be the means of preventing but one venial sin in any one of its readers, it will have accomplished a most glorious task, for it will have prevented an evil far greater (could one but realize it) than the Black Death, the bubonic plague, the earthquake in Tokyo, or even the universal Deluge itself. And we devoutly hope it may prevent not one only...

In the following pages, we read about an ambitious Luther trying to obtain for himself the dignity of the cardinalate at a young age. We learn about the true motives for his objections to indulgences, which sprang principally from resentment at the loss of income for his own Augustinian Order. We witness also his bad temper and vitriolic tongue, his nocturnal conversations with demons (whether they were real or imagined), and his scandalous and degrading...

Es un padre cristiano genuino que cumple fielmente las obligaciones de su estado y se santifica en los deberes ordinarios de la vida diaria.
El padre cristiano naturalmente inculcará hábitos...

San Gregorio Magno nos dice que más hombres son atraídos hacia el Cielo por la fuerza del ejemplo que por los efectos de los argumentos. Si esto es cierto con respecto a la humanidad en general, lo es especialmente con respecto al niño. El niño se forma con el ejemplo. Las verdades de fe aprendidas en el Catecismo son en su mayor parte ininteligibles para él. Necesita que se las esbocen como en un cuadro antes de poder asimilar su significado....

(Tannoia, B. 3, ch. 41, 42.)
The holy bishop, developing the celebrated text of St....

Selon la perspective divine, le Pape est perçu comme quelqu'un usurpant une identité spirituelle, propageant une vision raciste des réalités spirituelles. Cette représentation, non seulement empreinte de racisme, s'avère également erronée, aliénante, et asservissante. Cécile Manya, grâce à sa pensée libre et exploratrice, livre enfin la vérité bienfaisante contre le mensonge pernicieux qui a souillé le monde et perpétue un système...
