More From Jacques Maritain

What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.

I am catholic, i was raised catholic, i am a practicing catholic. but i say we need to agree to disagree. we have a shared mission around poverty, and i focus on that, because we do a lot with the catholic church around poverty alleviation. i'm always looking for: what is the common thread? what do we care about? what do we believe in? we believe in women around the world. we believe in all lives have equal value.

I went to a catholic university and there's something about being a catholic-american. you know, st. patrick's day is, i'm irish-catholic. there's alcoholism in my family. it's like i've got to be catholic, right?

I am catholic but i want to say something to the catholics. thank you for some of the bishops who live in rural areas, and are still catholic. these bishops of the catholic churches still pray for the poor, and pray for their president who works for the poor, while the leaders of the catholic church only defend oligarchy.

It's a beautiful religion and i wish i understood it more. no, i don't want to understand it all. it's beautiful because it's always a mystery. sometimes i say i don't believe in god and jesus and mary. i'm a bad catholic because i miss mass once in a while and i grumble when, at confession, i get a heavy penance for something i couldn't help doing. but good or bad, i am a catholic and i'll never be anything else. of course, i didn't ask to be born catholic, no more than i asked to be born american. but i'm glad it turned out that i'm both these things.

People always ask me if i hate the nuns. do i make my movies extra dirty to piss them off? i always say no, that's not the point. to a catholic, a movie is only dirty if it makes you want to have sex more. if it makes you feel sick, disgusted, ashamed of your own body, then it's not a dirty movie at all. it's a catholic movie. and i make very catholic movies.

It is essential that we realize once and for all that man is much more of a sex creature than a moral creature. the former is inherent, the other is grafted on.

Be honest, how hideous do i look?" he took another step back and pursed his lips. "that bad, huh?" i muttered. no, no bella. actually. . ." he seemed to be struggling for the right word. "you look. . .sexy." i laughed out loud. "right." very sexy, really.

I feel so confident and awesome and sexy when i'm with people who are older than me, and i've always been surrounded by people who are older than me. but to be vital in comedy, you have to exist in a world that's dominated by young people.

I need honor in my life from somebody playing for keeps.
