There Is A Kind Of Thinking In

The Evil Of The Church Is The Doing Of Church Work In A Spirit Of Business, Something To Be Got Through. The Only Way To Avoid This Is For The Priest To Be Instant In Prayer. If He Is Not, He Will Lose That Touch Of The Supernatural, Without Which He Has No Right To Be A Priest At All.
