The Saints and the Second Pill

In my last post I talked about the "second pill" in the movie The Matrix. The second pill is the pill of truth. Here's a short list of some individuals who chose to swallow the pill of Truth. Let's see where it got them:


Edith Stein- Jew turned atheist


St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein)- turned Carmelite nun who wrote Finite and Eternal Being


Sitting Bull- I just think this is beyond cool
(After his conversion should we call him "Kneeling Bull"? Thanks Taylor for the pic)


Augustine- curious intellectual and common fornicator

St. Augustine of Hippo- Doctor of the Universal Church


John Newman- Anglican clergy


Blessed John Henry Newman- Saint, Cardinal, and perennial defender of the Catholic Church


Karol Wojtyla- actor and motherless son

Blessed Pope John Paull II- son of Mary, Saint, and Papa of the Universal Church



What will you do with the Truth?
