Entry: Hitchens' Hubris Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/hitchens_hubris#2700 Post contents: <i>The memory of Kolbe’s courage and selflessness lived on in those who survived the Golgotha of Auschwitz, including Franciszek Gajowniczek, and Kolbe was canonized by John Paul II in 1982.</i> TP doesn't understand his own faith. What's selfless about pleasing God by enduring temporary earthly suffering to win eternal bliss? Kolbe required courage and endurance to the extent that he wasn't sure that he'd win Heaven or found it hard to act on his faith, but selflessness was definitely not involved. Sent at: 2008 07 09
