a speech given at a Monasterary in 1948 about the responsibilities of Christianity (e.g., in the face of tyranny)

To me a lay pharisee is the person who pretends to believe that Christianity is an easy thing and asks of the Christian, on the basis of an external view of Christianity, more than he asks of himself. I believe indeed that the Christian has many obligations but that it is not up to the man who rejects them himself to recall their existence to anyone who has already accepted them.

idk what to do with this but it seemed kinda interesting at the time
