Dumbing Down and Being Profound

"Eschatons", "beatific visions," "hypostatic unions" a host of Latin words, Greek words, Hebrew words, made up words, not sure they are words, ten thousand dollar words, run-on sentences etc. all contribute to the pride of wanting to be profound in the sight of others.

There is nothing wrong with being "deep," "profound", erudite even. But let us not loose perspective. We must have the basics down before we move forward. There is nothing wrong with washing a little meat down with some whole milk every once in a while!

The Gospel is a simple message. It is relevant to the most unlearned, common, and simple minded. More often than not it is the intellectual that can not comprehend it! M.J. Adler said that there are many a p.h.D. that have read a lot of books and there are many that have mis-read books.
"When the day of judgment comes we shall be examined by what we have done, not about what we have read; whether we have lived conscientiously, not whether we have turned fine phrases.

They have handed over their chairs to other men, who probably never waste a thought on them" (a Kempis)
"A fool in a gown is none the wiser. The same is true of any member of All Fool's College when he wears a square cap" (Spurgeon, salt cellars).
