Remember: Turn the other cheek is singular.

I asked a question of a priest when I was about 16. What should I do if I turn the other cheek and that one is struck? His reply was that Christ ask us to be meek and humble, He does not ask us to be a doormat.

I wonder what Fr. Rutler thinks about women’s boxing.

That's probably meant to be the Tom Molyneux/ Tom Cribb bout on Copthall Common in 1810. Neither man looks much like himself, but Gericault probably never saw either one of them.


Tom Cribb


Tom Molyneux

The black boxer actually looks more like Bill Richmond, who also fought Cribb but was a much smaller and lighter-built man (he would have fought as a welterweight today, while Cribb was a heavyweight by anybody's standard)


Bill Richmond

In this print of the Cribb-Molyneux match, Richmond is Molyneux's second.
