TUESDAY QUOTE OF THE WEEK CDXXXIX

FINDING TRUTH WHEVER IT MAY BE FOUND:  "Just as some might have thought the Church simply a part of the Roman Empire, so others might have thought the Church only a part of the Dark Ages.  The Dark Ages ended as the Empire had ended, and the Church should have departed with them, if she had been also one of the shades of the night."  from G. K. Chesterton's, "Everlasting Man."

QUOTE II:  "A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it."  same source.
