"This, then is our desert: to live facing despair, but not to consent. To trample it down under hope in the Cross. To wage war against despair unceasingly. That war is our wilderness. If we wage it courageously, we will find Christ at our side. If we cannot face it, we will never find him."

Badge of honour
As a convinced francophile and part-time paysan (of the Vendee rather than the Garonne) I can’t help but admire the way the French do things so differently & with style. One response to the recent and outrageously unbalanced media attacks on the reputation of Pope Benedict has come from a group of Parisian young people who have staged counter-demonstrations in his support and have taken to wearing these badges.
“Leave my Pope alone!”
Where can I get one?
