What We Do Flows From Who We

To Turn Away From The Great Questions And Dilemmas Of Life Is A Tragedy, For The Quest For Meaning And Truth Makes Life Worth Living.

What Is True Has Never Been A Question To Be Decided By Polls Or Popular Opinion. Truth Isn’t ‘democratic’—it’s Something That God Has Written Into The Very Fabric Of Nature.

That Solidarity Was A Religious Movement No One, Least Of All The Soviets, Can Deny. In November 1981, Pravda Denounced 'religious Fanaticism' As A Grave Challenge To Socialism; Failure To Contain It, Pravda Said, Was At The Root Of The Problems In Poland.

People Who Reject Transcendent Authority Can No Longer Persuade One Another Through Rational Arguments; Everything Is Reduced To Personal Opinion. Debates About Ideas Thus Degenerate Into Power Struggles; We're Left With No Moral Standard By Which To Measure The Common Good. For That Matter, How Can There Be A 'common Good' Without An Objective Standard Of Truth?

Where Is The Hope? I Meet Millions Who Tell Me That They Feel Demoralized By The Decay Around Us. Where Is The Hope? The Hope That Each Of Us Have Is Not In Who Governs Us, Or What Laws Are Passed, Or What Great Things That We Do As A Nation. Our Hope Is In The Power Of God Working Through The Hearts Of People, And That’s Where Our Hope Is In This Country; That’s Where Our Hope Is In Life.
