Apologists' defense of moral beauty

[Jim_Baur]

I would like to see the beauty of chastity explained, help!

I would like to see the beauty of sobriety explained, help!

I would like to see confession and the beauty of the other sacraments explained and defended, help!

TRUTH, HONESTY, PRUDENCE, JUSTICE, PEACE (interior and exterior)

Please give help from the early Church, the Bible and all of history–even 2007.

THANKS!!!

Dragon, virgin tied up as sacrifice, St George on white horse riding to rescue.
Dragons usually demand maidens.

Temperance is an ugly virtue. Catholics have a drinking church.

Confession is so obviously a useful sacrament that it doesn’t need any defence.

Marriage. St George with virgin, offering her a ring. Dead dragon in background.

Eucharist. Read Tolkien and the lembas that sustains the hobbits on their journey to Mordor.

Baptism: pretty fountain in woods.
Confirmation: baptism with fire. Wartime scene.
Ordination: priest lying down in St Peter’s
Extreme Unction: deathbed scene.

Explain please? Did you just call me a drunkard?
