Muscular Christianity?

There is something odd though about reading your Bible on a Sunday morning but not taking part in public worship.

Crist lim. Crist remam.
Crist imm degaid. Crist innum.
Crist ísum. Crist úasam.
Crist dessum. Crist tuathum.
Crist illius. Crist ipsius [sic],
Crist inerus.

Christ with me, Christ before me,
Christ behind me, Christ within me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ at my right, Christ at my left,
(Christ in the fort,
Christ in the chariot-seat,
Christ in the mighty stern.)

[The Lorica of St Patrick]

Vor uns liegt Deutschland, in uns marschiert Deutschland, und hinter uns kommt Deutschland!

Germany lies before us, Germany marches within us, and behind us comes Germany!

[Speech in Nuremberg, 8th September 1934]

'Half a century after the death of Franco, Spain is a far better place', whinny the twerps at The Economist.

And if you ignore the utterly dire state of things in Spain since 2008 you might even be able to go on thinking that's the case.

The reality is of course quite different.

The most macabre thing is that the twerps are well aware of the problems that population collapse is going to bring. They're just incapable of even thinking of solutions.

Prex Speculatoris?

Domine Iesu, Verbum Dei aeternum, doce me esse liberalem. Doce me tibi servire prout mereris, dare et non aestimare sumptus, pugnare et non curare vulnera, laborare et non quaerere requiem, laborare et non postulare praemium, nisi scire me voluntatem tuam facere. Amen.
