“I have known some people of very modern views driven by their distress to the use of theological terms to which they attached no doctrinal significance, merely because a drawer was jammed tight and they could not pull it out.”
G.K. Chesterton, All Things Considered
LOL! I’ve probably been guilty of this.
To clarify that a little, I’m not Catholic and my theological training is sorely limited. It’s not that I’m afraid to open the drawer so much as there’s a LOT of stuff to rifle through, and pulling on one thing seems to drag a host of others with it.
We had a drawer like that! Then I put all the things we never used in a box and about a year later got rid of it. Saves a lot of rattling the drawer and yelling “Aargh! Stupid [insert kitchen oddment]! Why do we even have one of those??”
Which brings us back to foul language. I’m strongly reminded of Captain Haddock. 😉
Memorably voiced by Leo McKern in the audiobooks. He had the perfect voice for Haddock…
Lol! I’ve never encountered the audio-books, but that sounds epic.
