If we burst through our comfort zones and embrace the frontier of bold faith, our Lord offers spiritual blessings in our fleeting time on Earth and eternal life with Him.

There is such a thing as a “radical pro-choicer.” There is actually no such thing as a “radical pro-lifer.” There are only people who see that the genesis of human life at its earliest stages is of the deepest moral significance, and then there are those who do not. If you recognize that we all started out as an embryo, and that our own value hinges on the value of that embryo, then you are pro-life. Not radically, but reasonably so.

In that, we resemble the modern world we sometimes criticize. Beauty has been sacrificed to function and efficiency in architecture, ritual and thought.
