Aphorism

Theology

• Truth over vocation.
• The Catholic Church is bigger than any one experience of her.
• Many identify with Catholicism but few embrace it.
• The liturgy does not create the Church but the Church has liturgy. (cf: Liturgy and the Faith)
• The Bible is true because it is Catholic, not Catholic because it is Biblical.
• One cannot say “Yes” to Jesus without saying “Yes” to his Church.
• Jesus wants all of me, all of the time.
• Is that what the Church teaches or is it what you think the Church teaches?
• On an objective level, the term “Catholic Christianity” can only be used by those who have never looked at what the Catholic Church teaches.

Philosophy

• Truth does not care what you think.
• Belonging is more than knowing.
• Seeds of doubt are sown by the devil to tempt people away from the Truth.
• Nostalgia is not a virtue.
• It is not the asking of the question that is inconsiderate and rude but the inability of the person to meaningfully answer.
• Ideas have context, life has situations.

General

• Intensity does not equal intimacy.
• Information is not education.
• Disobedience on the right is still disobedience.
• Being informed” is not a virtue.
• Life is not a competition, its an experience!
