"It, the Church, will be seen increasingly as what it was in the beginning, a saving remnant, a sign of contridiction, a stuimbling block, a transcultural phenomenon, a pilgrim chrcuh. There is no more Christendom and it may be just as well." Jun 09, 2012 09:40am

More of Charles's books…
Alfred Tennyson
“Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”
Alfred Tennyson, Idylls of the King and a Selection of Poems

Flannery O'Connor
“All my stories are about the action of grace on a character who is not very willing to support it, but most people think of these stories as hard, hopeless and brutal.”
Flannery O'Connor, A Good Man is Hard to Find and Other Stories

Herman Melville
“A noble craft, but somehow a most melancholy! All noble things are touched with that.”
Herman Melville, Moby-Dick

William Shakespeare
“Drown thyself? Drown cats and blind puppies.”
William Shakespeare, Othello

Walker Percy
“Lucky is the man who does not secretly believe that every possibility is open to him.”
Walker Percy
