Unhappy is the hardened sinner who resists the calls of God
Spirituality
St. Alphonsus (c. 1760): “Unhappy, then, the hardened sinner who resists the calls of God. Instead of yielding, and being softened by the voice of God, he ungratefully becomes more obdurate [stubborn], as the anvil is hardened by the strokes of the hammer: ‘His heart shall be as hard as a stone, and as firm as a smith’s anvil’ (Job. Xli. 15). His punishment will be to find himself the same in death, although on the point of passing into eternity: ‘A hard heart shall fare evil at the last.’”
Doctrine
Pope Leo XIII (1885): “… Catholic faith cannot be reconciled with opinions verging on naturalism or rationalism, the essence of which is utterly to do away with Christian institutions and to install in society the supremacy of man to the exclusion of God.” (Immortale Dei #47)
