Quote of the Month

We Christians should not be afraid of the spiritual encounter with a society that conceals behind ostensible intellectual superiority its perplexity in the face of the ultimate existential questions.

Pope Benedict XVI, in a speech to the German cardinals

A society that conceals its perplexity behind a facade of intellectual superiority... the Pope really knows how to lay the smackdown on the modern world.

Existentialism is secular.

Sartre, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Heidegger, Camus, and de Beauvoir were all impious modernists.
