How The Irish Saved History:
From The Preface:
Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in our lifetime;
therefore we must be saved by HOPE.
Nothing which is true or beautiful or good makes
complete sense in any immediate contex of history;
therefore we must be saved by FAITH.
Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone;
therefore we must be saved by LOVE.
Reinhold Niebuhr
From page 143:
The Smith is still a "man of art," a poet or druid,
but he is no longer one of
those whose evil craft and power Patrick
had to protect himself against."
From page 177:
Though one's confession was made to a human being, he or she ws
chosen
by the penitent for qualities of true priestliness--holiness,
wisdom, generoisity, loyalty, and courage. No one could ever pry
knowledge
gained in confession from such a priest, who knew that every confession
was
sealed forever by God himself. To break that seal was to imperil
one's
salvation: it was practically the only sin the Irish considered
unforgivable.
So one did not necessairly choose one's "priest" from among ordained
professionals: the act of confesson
was too personal and too important for such a limitation
One looked for an
anmchara, a soul-friend, someone to be trusted over a whole lifetime.
Thus the oft-found saying, "Anyone without a soul-friend is like
a body
without a head," which dates from pagan times.
The druids, not the monks,
had been the first soul-friends.
