Paul McClintock / blog

I sell shirts through redbubble and pretend to be an artist. This blog sometimes contains my own stuff, but mostly examples of art, illustrations and films that inspire me.

“

Many of those who have thought long and hard about religions - and hence know the answers - don’t actually believe the doctrines that they rightly identify as belonging to the church they are affiliated with.

They know, for instance, what a good Catholic is “required to profess” as Pope Benedict (when he was Cardinal Ratzinger) often said, and so, if they are Catholics, they profess it. But they find that they cannot actually believe it. Many people maintain their loyalty as vigorous members of their denominations while quietly setting aside the dogmas, either utterly ignored as irrelevant or wreathed in protective layers of metaphor.
