Omnis autem perversa appretiatio creaturarum procedit aut ratione - TopicsExpress



          

Omnis autem perversa appretiatio creaturarum procedit aut ratione sublimitatis, aut ratione sufficientiae, aut ratione delectationis. Primo modo est idololatria superborum; secundo modo est idololatria avarorum; tertio modo est idololatria lascivorum. Every perverse appraisal of creatures proceeds either for the purpose of elite superiority, or [the clutching] of sufficiency, or of [gaining] pleasure. The first mode is the idolatry of the prideful. The second mode is the idolatry of the greedy. The third mode is the idolatry of the lascivious. - St. Bonaventure Collations on the Ten Precepts Im feeling convicted from beyond the grave. The plight of the medievalist. The celebration of the Catholic. Ugh. This world could be easier, you know.
