“Regard as free not those whose status makes them outwardly free, but those who are free in their character and conduct. For we should not call men truly free when they are wicked and dissolute, since they are slaves to worldly passions. Freedom and happiness of soul consist in genuine purity and detachment from transitory things.”
St. Anthony the Great

“Men will surrender to the spirit of the age. They will say that if they had lived in our day,
faith would be simple and easy. But in their day, they will say, things are complex;
the Church must be brought up to date and made meaningful to the day's problems.
When the Church and the world are one, then those days are at hand.”
St. Antony the Abbot - Fourth Century
