Individual Jesuit Raised

More From Michael Moore

Faith is precisely the paradox that the single individual as the single individual is higher than the universal, is justified before it, not as inferior to it but superior - yet in such a way, please note, that it is the single individual who, after being subordinate as the single individual to the universal, now by means of the universal becomes the single individual who as the single individual is superior, that the single individual as the single individual stands in an absolute relation to the absolute.

Jesuits make a vow of obedience to the pope. but if the pope is a jesuit, perhaps he has to make a vow of obedience to the general of the jesuits! i don’t know how to resolve this … i feel a jesuit in my spirituality; in the spirituality of the exercises, the spirituality deep in my heart.

I know a whole generation has been raised on the notion of multiculturalism; that all civilizations are just different. no! not always. sometimes things are better! rule of law is better than autocracy and theocracy; equality of the sexes, better; protection of minorities, better; free speech, better; free elections, better; free appliances with large purchases, better! don't get so tolerant that you tolerate intolerance.

I think we love watching people that are flawed because we're all flawed.

Freedom is necessary for two reasons. it's necessary for the individual, because the individual, no matter how good the society is, every individual has hopes, fears, ambitions, creative urges, that transcend the purposes of his society. therefore we have a long history of freedom, where people try to extricate themselves from tyranny for the sake of art, for the sake of science, for the sake of religion, for the sake of the conscience of the individual - this freedom is necessary for the individual.

There are some things fundamentally off about the stance of the book. and maybe that's okay; maybe every book is flawed, and great books, as flawed as they might be, articulate a moral argument that the reader then carries forward. the critique to this model is, of course, to ask: should a book be ever so perfect that you come out of it with complete moral agreement that can be sustained?

Bad books always lie. they lie most of all about the human condition.

I have three kids who like harry potter so i was sort of aware of it. you can't really move from it: it's on buses, in stores, it's everywhere. one of my kids has read the books; the other two are too small but they like the movies.
