Victor Hugo wasn't a good man?? I had NO Idea, I read his books and wondered what religion he was because he seemed very wise when it came to God, I will take them off but if someone wants to give me a history lesson about him I would be all ears!  Cool

Ah well, it's a difficult subject. Good decision!

I think a little searching on the Internet will reveal the problems! I don't know how deep they go, but they loomed large, and I'm sure there's good there as well as the problems. Every problems have some. I don't need to go far into his difficulties, you can if you wish to study yourself.. but there's too much to go through for perhaps a little good, mixed in with evil. There's no time for that, it's not worth it, and no one has spent the time sorting the good from the evil for us ahead of time, and that's not our job to waste our time with. . . Well I am digressing.

We have to be careful with what we recommend to others because of the problems that can be therein.

That's how it is with so many things really.  Cheesy

He apparently made himself a role model for how to go to Hell when you die, and defying morals as an author.. But rather than speak about him and his problems..

It's just this forum is about saints' quotes, not famous entertainment authors, or people famous for defying the Church. They have plenty of their own forums. Smiley

Here try for purity and care with sources! If you find a good quote, check the source first before posting it to see if there were problems with it!

I should put this in the guideline so everyone knows. It's not that it's absolutely verboten to say quote him, but hmm.. the context has to right.. and there has to be sufficient good reason.. otherwise.. it's off the subject matter.. and could be troublesome.. if everyone starts doing it..

I just read about him. In his earlier youth he was Catholic , but had a growing antipathy toward the Catholic church.  When asked about his faith, he said he was a free thinker. Yes, not worth talking about him.  Probably a good example of the thread  'Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit' from the little I read about him.

It's strange, but after reading so many saints quotes one can almost tell when seeing a quote if it's from a saint or not. The saints quotes have this uncanny ability of bringing a truth to the surface that maybe one had felt but could never have put into words.

My brother often recommends books to me and my first question to him is always, "What year was it written?" My second question is, "Is the author Catholic?" and my third question, "Have any of the saints ever written on this subject?"

If the answer to the first question falls between the years 1960 to 2010, I normally won't read the book unless the answer to the 2nd question is Yes and the answer to the 3rd is No.

If the saints have already dealt with the topic then I'll go and read what the saints had to say about it rather than read what an un-canonized new author has to say.

My brother gets so frustrated with me.  Grin
I love the saints. They are our best friends here on earth and they never let you down whatever your need is.  Cheesy
