A Mountebank’s Resurrection

“When I was a little child,bishops expressed doubts about the Resurrection, and were called courageous.When I was a girl, G. K. Chesterton professed belief in the Resurrection, andwas called whimsical. When I was at college, thoughtful people expressed beliefin the Resurrection ‘in a spiritual sense,’ and were called advanced. Today,anyone who expresses faith in the Risen Christ is liable to be abused in nouncertain terms as a mountebank, a reactionary, a tool of the Inquisition, aspiritual snob, an intellectual bully, an escapist, an obstructionist, apsychopathic introvert, an insensitive extrovert, and an enemy of society.  The more things change the more theystay the same.” Dorothy Sayers
