I come not to bring peace but a sword

You must surely be familiar with Ephesians Ch 6, eg "the sword of the Spirit" Eph 6:17. Ephesians has been very important for me.

I've read about as much as I can on Therese, but I don't recall such "agressiveness". I'm glad you pointed it out.

It surely is needed to "discuss" with the non-Catholics and I know I'll need it and use it later, but I mostly appreciate this post for it's pure Catholicism. I just can't imagine how people can live without being fully Catholic.

God Bless

Thanks for your kind words. I am glad you enjoyed it. I have come to really appreciate the work of von Balthasar, and of course the true beauty of St. Therese.

Also, welcome to the forum and to our Catholic caucus! =)

I've read about as much as I can on Therese, but I don't recall such "agressiveness".

I saw a play put on by a group of players a couple years ago and the conflict in her life and her agressiveness was a part of it. I remember her being portrayed as pretty much a "spitfire".
