It is plain to me that our prelates, in granting indulgences, do commonly blaspheme the wisdom of God.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Wisdom is a sacred communion.
Earthly wisdom is doing what comes naturally. Godly wisdom is doing what the Holy Spirit compels us to do.
All great truths begin as blasphemies.
Men blaspheme what they do not know.
Theology in general seems to me a substitution of human ingenuity for divine wisdom.
What we call wisdom is the result of all the wisdom of past ages. Our best institutions are like young trees growing upon the roots of the old trunks that have crumbled away.
It seems to me that, in every culture, I come across a chapter headed 'Wisdom.' And then I know exactly what is going to follow: 'Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.'
It is not wisdom but Authority that makes a law.
Wisdom is knowledge which has become a part of one's being.
I suppose I should say that I treasure blasphemy, as a faith of the highest order.
