What Will the Girl Become?

  • Taken from a Victorian Book Excerpt, 1895


    If anyone says that true and natural water is not necessary for baptism and thus twists into some metaphor the words of our Lord Jesus Christ" Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Spirit" (Jn 3:5) let him be anathema.

  • There is also one for men:

  • I would say that unless a true miracle of Grace occurs (and they do in fact), this is most generally the case.

  • The only problem I have with the OP is the last drawing of a man at the age of 48, on the lower right, where it says.."physical and moral wreck." The box on the lower left, on the other hand, shows a nice and professional-looking man.

    That's all well and good, but it can also be said that a moral man (or woman) at the age of 48 may have quite a careworn look about them, if they have been, say, farmers or peasants (poor). Farmers and peasants may look unpleasant, but they can still be moral if they follow true Catholic teaching. 
    "It is licit to resist a Sovereign Pontiff who is trying to destroy the Church. I say it is licit to resist him in not following his orders and in preventing the execution of his will. It is not licit to Judge him, to punish him, or to depose him, for these are acts proper to a superior."

    ~St. Robert Bellarmine
    De Romano Pontifice, Lib.II, c.29
