From his 1916 book, Fear God and Take Your Part:
- The 7th century Christians of Asia and Africa...had trained themselves not to fight, whereas the Moslems were trained to fight.
- Christianity was saved in Europe solely because the peoples of Europe fought the Mohammedans who invaded...
- From the hammer of Charles Martel to the sword of Sobieski, Christianity owed its safety in Europe to the fact it...would fight as well as the Mohammedan aggressor.

How else is an ambitious professor to rise to the heights at a Jesuit university? Certainly not by agreeing with the teachings of the Church - that's the kiss of death. Have mercy on the poor guy! Even if he knows better, he does not dare to admit to it, that would take more fortitude than most intellectuals can muster.

It's only a matter of time before Father Massa and his ilk have achieved Brenschluss, if they haven't already. Here's to gravity's rainbow.

Massa is a Jebbie, it's not necessary that he get anything right. Too bad that students at BC are subject to this, though.
