Thought for the Day – 14 July – Meditations with Antonio Cardinal Bacci (1881-1971)
Knowledge and Goodness
“Joseph DeMaistre’s views on the relationship between knowledge and goodness may seem a little extreme but, they are nothing but the truth.
“If the guardianship of education is not restored to the Church and if knowledge is not everywhere subordinated to goodness, the evils which await us will be incalculable. Science will brutalise us. Because of it, men will become more savage than the barbarians!”
We do not wish to speak slightingly of knowledge.
It is a gift from God, Who has given us our intellects to know the truth.
But truth, like every created thing, comes from God and should lead us back to God.
It is the same with knowledge.
If we investigate the secrets of nature and do not make of them a ladder, which helps us to climb towards our Creator, we turn the natural order upside down and inevitably fall backwards.
We can gain, by our labours, a mastery over the hidden forces of nature.
If we do not use them to benefit humanity but to destroy those of our brothers whom we call our enemies, we are worse than Cain.
Science which does not serve goodness, is worse than barbarism.
The latter has very few instruments of destruction at its disposal.
When science rebels against idealism, however and makes itself absolute, it can destroy all that we have inherited of beauty and goodness throughout the centuries.
Science is too easily glorified today.
But knowledge, for the sake of knowledge, does not lead us to God and is very often stupidity or worse.
It can be an instrument of evil and of physical and spiritual destruction!”

Bonjour Ana,
Combien sont vrais, aujourd’hui plus qu’hier encore, ces paroles et commentaires du Cardinal Bacci !
Chez nous, au nom de la science, s’instaure une tyrannie sanitaire.
Le 14 juillet est, en France et pour nous catholiques, une journée de tristesse et de honte pour notre pays.
Prions Dieu de nous délivrer de l’ennemi.
Le monde est devenu fou !
C’est normal, en chassant le Bon Dieu, le diable prend la place.
Bonne journée et que le précieux sang de Jésus nous sauve.
Pauline et Marie.

Oh no Marie – is this the vaccine tyranny?
We stagger and reel like drunken souls now in this world governed by satan!
Oh Mother most Holy and Powerful, we mourn and weep in this vale of tears!
Yes, may the Precious Blood save us!
🙏🙏
