Culture of Life Quote of the Day: Ralph McInery


"As we draw ever closer to the brink, it becomes increasingly difficult for the Christian to ignore that his faith puts him in fundamental opposition to the assumptions of modern culture. Since the beginning of modern philosophy believers have been seeking to strike some deal with outlooks and theories diametrically opposed to Christianity...This drama is now played out with respect to abortion. Predictably, there are believers who want to strike a deal with the culture of death. They will be tolerant of fellow citizens who take human life. They are learning that this culture will not be tolerant of them."

~ Ralph McInery, excerpted from this post at The Catholic Thing

Ralph McInerny is a writer of philosophy, fiction, and cultural criticism, who has taught at Notre Dame since 1955.

  1. Amen Dr. McInerny, and to Jean for posting this! You can't dance with the devil.

  2. Never once do I remember Jesus making a deal with the devil! Jesus took authority over the devil and gave his followers this authority also.

    Do you ever wonder why Christians don't? Could it be they are not really in communion with Christ?
