[Philosophical pluralism] is the ideology that refuses to allow any single religion or worldview to claim an exclusive hold on the truth. It denies that there are any absolutes. It insists that all religions and worldviews must be seen as equally valid…To suggest otherwise is to be arrogant and intolerant. No religion can claim to be superior to any other. You may practice your faith as long as you realize it is only one of many true faiths. If what you believe is true at all, it is only relatively true… [But] at the same time that philosophical pluralism denies other religions the right to lay claim to the truth, it presents its own worldview as the absolute truth… In the end philosophical pluralism’s dismissal of dogma turns out to be just another dogma.

INSTRUCTIONS

SHELLS
FILLING
Sift together sugar, flour and salt.  Work the wine in gradually, kneading
to a soft dough.  Roll out on a floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness, and
cut out five-inch discs. Wrap each disc around a cannoli form, sealing the
edge with egg white.
Heat oil, five inches deep, in a small, deep saucepan, and fry one at a
time until golden and crisp.  Remove with tongs, let oil run off, and drain
on a paper towel. Let the pastry cool slightly, then slip it carefully off
the form.
Note:  Shells will keep for a week or two in a sealed container, so they
can be made ahead.
Filling:  In a mixing bowl, beat the ricotta with an electric mixter. Add
remaining filling ingredients. Stuff shells just before serving. Sprinkle
with powdered sugar.

“Famous last words: I did it my way”

The true Christian is one whose religion is in his heart and life. It is felt by himself in his heart. It is seen by others in his conduct and life. He feels his sinfulness, guilt and badness, and repents. He sees Jesus Christ to be that Divine Savior whom his soul needs, and commits himself to Him. He puts off the old man with his corrupt and carnal habits and puts on the new man. He lives a new and holy life, fighting habitually against the world, the flesh and the devil. Christ Himself is the cornerstone of his Christianity. Ask him in what he trusts for the forgiveness of his many sins, and he will tell you in the death of Christ. Ask him in what righteousness he hopes to stand innocent at the judgment day, and he will tell you it is the righteousness of Christ. Ask him by what pattern he tries to frame his life, and he will tell you that it is the example of Christ. But, beside all this, there is one thing in a true Christian which is eminently peculiar to him. That thing is love to Christ.
