Teachings that never change

Part of what makes me love being Catholic is the 2000+ years of history, tradition and teaching. That fact that in 2000 years many of the teachings have never changed is very comforting.

With all the "Catholic" Politicians voicing their opinions on church teaching this week, I thought this picture from 1700 depicting an event from 390 is appropriate. More on the Refusal of St. Ambrose to allow Theodosius into the church and his repentance can be found at New Advent. It is a very interesting moment in Church History, a moment that should not be forgotten, especially by modern "Catholic" politicians.

I promise not to rant about politics too much this year, but it is sad history is being made by a man who chooses death for so many of his own people.
