"The phenomenon develops calmly, but it is invisible, unstoppable. One feels, one sees it born and grow steadily..."
Leon Foucault
What happens when an irresistible trend meets an unreasonable and unsustainable obstruction?
Spiritual pride leads to a lingering spiritual death. It turns the living being into a tomb, bright and polished on the outside, proudly ornamented with scrupulous attention to detail, and ostentatious adherence to the letter of the law — but inside full of corruption, and festering foulness. They love the rituals and the worldly forms of religion, but want nothing to do with mercy and love. It is a sickening romance with the self, unto death.
