Quotes1

  • Father Matthew Thomas: The creation of mankind only started on the sixth day. It hasn't stopped yet. We're taller than we were a thousand years ago. We're fitter, faster. We live longer. We're better educated. More informed. So, creation... is an ongoing process. And if you interfere with it with it, aren't you spitting in the face of God? If you exploit your work force, don't you spit in the face of God? If you kill and maim, throw people out of their homes, turn your back on the elderly, If you shut down schools and hospitals, force people out on the dole - In fact, if you do anything... to prevent one single human being reaching their full potential, aren't you interfering in creation and spitting in the face of God? That's what I believe. That's my truth. That's what made me become a priest, and makes me remain a priest. The peace of the Lord be with you always.
