Knowledge becomes impossible if everything needs a definition.

		<description><![CDATA[Q: Is it really possible to explain, using reason alone, the immortal nature of the human soul, versus the animal soul? I understand that the ability to reason is particular to humans, but I don&#8217;t see how this proves our immortality. I believe it because the Church teaches it, but I can&#8217;t get it across to people who reject the Church.

		<description><![CDATA[Speaking of the work of Saint Benedict Center and the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Brother Francis often said, "We are three things at once: a crusade, a religious order, and a school of thought." Usually, he would embellish this utterance with little summaries of each of the three. By crusade, he meant our two-fold apostolate for the conversion of America and the restoration of doctrinal sanity, beginning with that very fundamental dogma, extra ecclesiam nulla salus. (We put the definite article and a capital C here: The Crusade.) By religious order, he meant our Congregation's First and Second Orders... <a class="readmorelink" href="http://catholicism.org/ad-rem-no-124.html">More &#8594;</a>]]></description>
