Father Louis on Sanity

Yes, that's right, it's Thomas Merton week here at Zippy, Inc. We can't help it. He said a couple really good things, that Trappist guy did. For example, this little bit (which I plan to print up at somewhere around the size of a football field and hang in front of the Pat Robertson headquarters):

The job of the Christian is to try to give an example of sanity, independence, human integrity, against all establishments and all mass movements and all current fashions which are merely mindless and hysterical.

-- Thomas Merton in a letter to Daniel Berrigan
