Regarding the Church
“Alexander Solzhenitsyn wrote in the Gulag Archipelago that it was in prison where he learned that the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor through classes, not through political parties, either, but right through every human heart and through all human hearts.
When we give ourselves serious evaluation, we find things hiding in our hearts that, if we could choose, we would remove. Our hearts have been described as “a zoo of lusts, a bedlam of ambitions, a nursery of fears, a harem of fondled hatreds.” Yet the Church, by its very nature, must be made up of the likes of us.
However, we are not left to ourselves. God is at work in the lives of all willing people, changing and transforming them into something more than they were.”
