For from the heart come forth evil...

...
[11] Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man: but what cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. [12] Then came his disciples, and said to him: Dost thou know that the Pharisees, when they heard this word, were scandalized? [13] But he answering them, said: Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. [14] Let them alone: they are blind, and leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into the pit. [15] And Peter answering, said to him: Expound to us this parable. [16] But he said: Are you also yet without understanding? [17] Do you not understand, that whatsoever entereth into the mouth, goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the privy? [18] But the things which proceed out of the mouth, come forth from the heart, and those things defile a man. [19] For from the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies. [20] These are the things that defile a man. But to eat with unwashed hands doth not defile a man.

From Matthew 15 (Douay-Rheims)

The Post-Dispatch Blog has been literally overrun by what appears to be those who harbor a venomous, vitriolic hatred of the Catholic Church and Archbishop Burke. While several faithful Catholics and others tried to shine light on the matter of the St Stanislaus schism, that light was met with fierce opposition...Some of those who should be commended for their efforts are Jim Russell, Ken, Mike, Fr. John Schweitzer, Romuleus, Hank Mulgravy, Charles V, Joeseminarian, Jeff, and some others.

For those who would like to both sickened and inspired, you can read the 340+ posts here. It's eye-opening to say the least!
