'The foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom'

This comment might be lost as it appears on the post titled What on earth is an indulgence of June 17, 2025.

"When GKChesterton was asked why he became a Catholic, he answered 'to get rid of my sins'. He says that only the Catholic Church can do that, and that when a man steps out of the confessional, he is only five minutes old. His whole life has started over again (Dale Ahlquist, Knight of the Holy Ghost, p.8).
Nonsense? Of course. Or rather non-sense. If your conscience tells you not to believe it, you must not believe it. But for those who do believe 'the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, the weakness of God is stronger than human strength' (1 Corinthians 1.25).
