I came in on my knees. That is the only way in. When people start praying they need truths; that’s all. You don’t come into the Church by ideas and concepts, and you cannot leave by mere disagreement. It has to be a loss of faith, a loss of participation. You can tell when people leave the Church: they have quit praying.Actively relating to the Church's prayer and sacraments is not done through ideas. Any Catholic today who has an intellectual disagreement with the Church has an illusion. You cannot have an intellectual disagreement with the Church: that's meaningless. The Church is not an intellectual institution. It is a superhuman institution.","author":"Marshall McLuhan","tags":["catholicism","conversion","marshall-mcluhan"],"id":34277,"author_id":"Marshall+McLuhan"},{"text":"Ads are the cave art of the twentieth century.","author":"Marshall McLuhan","tags":["art"],"id":38160,"author_id":"Marshall+McLuhan"},{"text":"We drive into the future using only our rearview mirror.","author":"Marshall McLuhan","tags":["mirror","drive","rearview "],"id":51763,"author_id":"Marshall+McLuhan"},{"text":"Money is the poor people's credit card.","author":"Marshall McLuhan","tags":["money"],"id":75298,"author_id":"Marshall+McLuhan"},{"text":"The medium is the message.","author":"Marshall McLuhan","tags":["message","medium "],"id":81151,"author_id":"Marshall+McLuhan"},{"text":"Television brought the brutality of war into the comfort of the living room.
