Cast Into the Deep

Perhaps the greatest challenge for the modern Catholic is to find the happy state wherein one trusts in God, not to the point of surrendering to inertia but more so that state of cooperating to the fullest extent with actual and sacramental graces in order to attain excellence in the here and now. Temporal and natural achievement ought to be pursued, attained and celebrated without a shrug of the shoulders but rather for the greater glory of God.

Acedia acts as a potent depressant to the soul. It could be said that it is the sin of admitting that everything and every act is ho-hum--an egalitarianism of behavior, if you will.

Holy Writ, St. Paul, the Fathers of the Church and St. Josemaria Escriva pushed excellence and a true exercise of human freedom so as to combat this subtle but progressively deadly vice.

River Forest--the Gomorrah to Oak Park's Sodom--deals with a rash (actually one incident) of gay pride flag theft. No worries though: the juvenile offenders will be placed in the tender care of over-funded and under-qualified Dominican University social workers.

After that, they are sure to never commit another crime... Right...
