To destroy heresy: the chubby, rosy cherub...


Oh joy! Do you see what the grinning little cherub is doing (in Rome's Jesuit parish, Il Gesu)? He’s destroying the fodder of heresy!

“Here is the badge of heresy: its dogmas are unfruitful; it has no theology. Deduct its remnants of Catholic theology, and what remains? Polemics, explanations, protests.”

Card. Newman: Oxford University Sermons. (19th cent.)
