Clemens Alexandriae loquitur; audiat populus


Padre Mickey had a comment over at Jake's place and I just want to give it greater prominence:
Tomorrow is the Feast of St. Clement of Alexandria, and I thought that I would quote from him on the orthodox so-called: The so-called orthodox are like beasts that work out of fear. They do good works without knowing what they are doing. They are as scared of Greek philosophy as they are of actor's masks, fearing it would lead them astray. They are dumb animals that have to be driven by fear. Some things haven't changed after all this time.

Here endeth the lesson from the God-mantled Fathers.
