This site is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Alan William Smolowe who gave birth to the creation of this database.

Jean Mouroux

Roman Catholic Priest and Theologian

"If the union of man and woman is the fruit of a love that is given in purity, generosity and fidelity, then the body itself is spiritualized in the service of a love that ennobles it, and, with God’s blessing, sanctifies."

"To put the temporal in the place of God, when done with full deliberation, is the sin of pride in all its gravity."

"The role of art is to express through the body the mystery of a soul. Through the body - that is to say by way of all the signs - visual, audible, mobile."
