{"product_id":"the-churchs-position-on-dancing-9781957066417","title":"The Church's Position on Dancing","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe moral dangers of the too common and too fashionable amusements of dancing are pointed out, with as much force as clearness and learning, in this small but valuable book. The author extracts proofs from the Holy Scriptures, the Holy Fathers, Holy Councils, and from the theologians most renowned for their piety and learning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFamiliarity removes, often, a due appreciation of the dangers of the dance. There are Catholics who seem to have become skeptical as to the very existence of the danger attendant on their supposed innocent recreations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe hope that these collected proofs will enlighten the mind and change the heart of those who have been the advocates of dancing, solely because they have never sufficiently considered the evils of which it is the cause and the occasion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"But, you will say, the Commandments of God do not forbid dancing, nor does Holy Scripture, either. Perhaps you have not examined them very closely. Follow me for a moment and you will see that there is not a Commandment of God which dancing does not cause to be transgressed, nor a Sacrament which it does not cause to be profaned.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- St. John Vianney\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mediatrix Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/22\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781957066417\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.25d","brand":"Abbe Henri Louis Hulot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43471258484917,"sku":"9781957066417","price":8.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_7b8e3362-f9f6-409c-ac20-5497d5c0aa32.jpg?v=1704824949","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-churchs-position-on-dancing-9781957066417","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
