David Bentley Hart
“Now we are able to rejoice that we are saved not through the immanent mechanisms of history and nature, but by grace; that God will not unite all of history’s many strands in one great synthesis, but will judge much of history false and damnable; that he will not simply reveal the sublime logic of fallen nature but will strike off the fetters in which creation languishes; and that, rather than showing us how the tears of a small girl suffering in the dark were necessary for the building of the Kingdom, he will instead raise her up and wipe away all tears from her eyes – and there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying, nor any more pain, for the former things will have passed away and he that sits upon the throne will say, ‘Behold, I make all things new.”
David Bentley Hart, The Doors of the Sea: Where Was God in the Tsunami?

“[I]t is wrong to think of conversion as the decision of a man or as an agreement or contract between a man and God in which grace comes to a man only as a result of his decision to allow it. For one thing such an idea suggests that men before they are converted occupy a position of neutrality or of balance or equilibrium, and that a man by his decision is able to tip the balance one way or the other, to allow grace or to resist it. But any conscious decision, any turning to God, comes about as a result of being turned by God, by being regenerated.”
Paul Helm, The Beginnings: Word and Spirit in Conversion

Antonin Scalia
“Be fools for Christ. And have the courage to suffer the contempt of the sophisticated world.”
Antonin Scalia

Thomas Joseph White
“The Christian is free because he lives for the one thing necessary.”
Thomas Joseph White, The Light of Christ: An Introduction to Catholicism

Antonin Scalia
“Grant Gilmore: “In Heaven there will be no law, and the lion will lie down with the lamb….In Hell there will be nothing but law, and due process will be meticulously observed.”
Antonin Scalia, Scalia Speaks: Reflections on Law, Faith, and Life Well Lived
