Blowing the Dynamite + No Recourse + Politics Is Politics

Blowing the Dynamite

Writing about the Catholic Church,
a radical writer says:
“Rome will have to do more
than to play a waiting game;
she will have to use
some of the dynamite
inherent in her message.”
To blow the dynamite
of a message
is the only way
to make the message dynamic.
If the Catholic Church
is not today
the dominant social dynamic force,
it is because Catholic scholars
have failed to blow the dynamite
of the Church.
Catholic scholars
have taken the dynamite
of the Church,
have wrapped it up
in nice phraseology,
placed it in an hermetic container
and sat on the lid.
It is about time
to blow the lid off
so the Catholic Church
may again become
the dominant social dynamic force.

No Recourse

        1.  Politicians used to say:
             "We make prosperity
             through our wise policies."

        2.  Business men used to say:
             "We make prosperity
             through our private enterprise."

        3.  The workers did not have anything to say
             about the matter;

        4.  They were either put to work
             or thrown out of employment

        5.  And when unemployment came
             the workers
             had no recourse
             against the professed makers
             of prosperity,
             politicians and business men.

Politics Is Politics

        1. A politician is an artist
              in the art of following the wind
              of  public opinion.

        2. He who follows the wind
              of public opinion
              does not follow
              his own judgement.

        3. And he who does not follow
              his own judgement
              cannot lead people
              out of the beaten path.

        4. He is like the tail of a dog
              that tries to lead the head.        

        5. When people stand behind their president
              and their president
              stands behind them
              they and their president
              go around in a circle
              getting nowhere.
