The Moynihan Report: Letter #31: The Program, and the Sheriff


 


 

March 2, 2013, Saturday -- The Program, and the Sheriff

 

"Nevertheless, with most of them God was not well-pleased; for they were laid low in the wilderness...
"Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.

"Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed that he does not fall."

St. Paul, 1st Letter to the Corinthians, 10:5, 11-12, warning his readers not to desire "evil things," lest they be "laid low" by God. The reading was the second reading today in Catholic Masses in Rome

 

(The image is of the Greek text of one of St. Paul's letters from an early manuscript. This is a folio from Papyrus 46, containing the text of 2 Corinthians 11:33-12:9)

 

Note to readers:  This week we will launch a new website, TheMoynihanReport.com.  Modeled on the Drudge Report, it is intended to be a site where readers can find useful information in 5 main areas: Culture Watch, Money Watch, Pope Watch, Science Watch and Vatican Watch.  This new website is free and we hope that over time it will become a site that you will enjoy visiting regularly. The archive of the Moynihan Letters can be found at TheMoynihanLetters.com.  (This site will be down for the next few hours due to site updating.)
