Faith Is The Final Triumph Over Incongruity,

The Cross Symbolizes A Cosmic As Well As Historic Truth. Love Conquers The World, But Its Victory Is Not An Easy One.

What Is So Funny About Us Is Precisely That We Take Ourselves Too Seriously. Laughter Is The Same And Healthy Response To The Innocent Foibles Of Men; And Even To Some Which Are Not Innocent.

In The 17th And 18th Centuries There Was A Kind Of Protestantism That Said, "if You Could Only Get Rid Of The Bishop, Then You'd Be A True Christian".

Now When The Historic Religions Give Trivial Answers To These Very Tragic Questions Of Our Day, When An Evangelist Says, For Instance, We Mustn't Hope For A Summit Meeting, We Must Hope In Christ Without Spelling Out What This Could Mean In Our Particular Nuclear Age. This Is The Irrelevant Answer, When Another Evangelist Says If America Doesn't Stop Being Selfish, It Will Be Doomed. This Is Also A Childish Answer Because Nations Are Selfish And The Question About America Isn't Whether We Will Be Selfish Or Unselfish, But Will We Be Sufficiently Imaginative To Pass The Reciprocal Trade Acts.

I Think That The Achievements Of Catholicism On Race Are Very, Very Impressive.
