WISE WORDS INDEED

May I suggest that you read a post at a blog called Luke 10:27 titled "Reading Peter Maurin"s Easy Essays"? Here's a sample:

CHURCH AND STATE

Modern society believes
in separation
of Church and State.
But the Jews
did not believe in it,
the Greeks
did not believe in it,
the Medievalists
did not believe in it,
the Puritans
did not believe in it.
Modern society
has separated
the Church from the State,
but it has not separated
the State from business.
Modern society
does not believe
in a Church’s State;
it believes
in a business man’s State.
“And it is the first time
in the history of the world
that the State is controlled
by business men,”
says James Truslow Adams.
